Professor Jennifer Martin will be presenting at the International Union of Crystallography Conference 2023 in cooperation with a STEM exhibition Crystal-A-Con on Saturday 26 August from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm in the Plenary 2 room at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre (South Wharf).
Professor Jennifer Martin AC FAA is recognised internationally for her pioneering research in protein crystallography, a science that seeks to understand how biological machines operate.
What’s not to love? In my sub-field of protein crystallography I can be a: creative artist - generating beautiful crystals, and designing proteins that glow green; an explorer - discovering for the first time the inner workings of biology; a physicist – recording data at synchrotrons and nuclear reactors around the globe; a chemist - supporting the discovery of new drugs for devastating diseases; an influencer - enabling highly accurate AI-generated protein structures; and a baker - #CrystalCakes.
