Prof. Garib Murshudov was selected as a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization Jun 14, 2019 | 09:22 / Important events

Garib Murshudov, the leader of the Computer crystallography group of the Cambridge University of Great Britain and head of the laboratory of Computational structural biology of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnologies, ANAS and Lalita Ramakrishna, the group leader of the Cambridge University were selected members of European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) which combines 1800 most influential scientists from all over the world.

 The European Molecular Biology Organization, which established in 1964, boosts science worldwide. He chooses new members every year, taking into account their great contribution to the development of science, and this membership is considered a lifelong honor for every scientist.

The main goal of the organization is to support talented researchers in all stages of their activities, stimulate the scientific exchange of information and empower their talents.

EMBO helps young scientists in their research, enhances their reputation in the international arena and provides mobility. The organized courses, conferences, and editions of EMBO releases information about the latest research and organizes training for the study of high technological standards in scientific research practice.

To understand the function of the proteins, it is necessary to study their three-dimensional structure. The development and improvement of methods are required to obtain reliable nuclear models of proteins that are difficult to determine. The main direction of Garib Murshudov's researches is the creation of effective mathematical, statistical and computational algorithms for macromolecular crystallography and electron krio-microscopic structural analysis. Its team also provides these algorithms to researchers in the field of structural biology to determine the new protein structure in the form of software. Garib Murshudov's team focuses more on the development of methods for determining the protein structure with inaccurate or limited information. In this case, theoretical knowledge about structural and chemical structure is complemented by experimental data.

Professor Lalita Ramakrishna's team's research focuses on the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and the basics of the different sensitivities of the disease.
