David o’connell

Associate Professor University College Dublin

David is an expert in protein engineering with a particular focus on development of novel therapeutic biologic molecules.

His research group specialises in phage display selection approaches, proteomic technologies, biophysical measurement of protein interactions with antibodies, small molecules and miniproteins. Their research into G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) has led us to specialise further in nanodisc synthesis and Cryo-EM enabling capabilities.

He looks forward to exploring new collaborations in GPCR paradigms.
