Janet Deane
I started my research career at the University of Sydney studying for a PhD in Biochemistry with Prof. Jacqui Matthews. In 2005, I was awarded an NHMRC CJ Martin Fellowship to support postdoctoral studies at The University of Oxford. Here I worked with Prof. Susan Lea in the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology developing my skills as a protein crystallographer. I then moved to The University of Cambridge and in 2011 was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship to start my independent lab at The Cambridge Institute for Medical Research. Our team built a research programme investigating aberrant intracellular trafficking in infectious and genetic disease. Following on from this work, in 2020 I was awarded a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship to explore how a special class of lipids, glycosphingolipids, modulates membrane protein trafficking and how this drives early onset neurodegenerative diseases.
