Hi, I’m Joe.

  • I’m a structural biologist (I study the shape of protein molecules to understand how they work).

  • I’m a protein engineer (I think about ways we can re-design protein molecules so that we can use them to do useful stuff).

  • I’m an evolutionary biochemist (I study the evolutionary processes and physical mechanisms that facilitate and constrain the diversification of biological molecules).

  • I’m a student and a teacher (I learn best through teaching).

  • I’m a traveller and lover of the outdoors (see my other blog, Tasmanian Traveller).

  • And I’m really glad you’re here.
