Dr. Xiaobing Xia

Xiaobing is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, supported by a grant from the BBSRC, "The Membrane Protein Structure Initiative", to a large consortium of researchers throughout the UK. This forms part of the Structural Proteomics of Rational Targets (SPoRT) initiative. It aims to solve the structures of a large number of human membrane transporters and channels, and their bacterial homologues, using high throughput approaches. Professors P.J.F. Henderson, M.J. McPherson, S.E.V. Phillips, J.B.C. Findlay and J.P. Knox are all involved in the project at Leeds.
