Speakers

Nicholas Taylor

Nicholas Taylor is associate professor and group leader at the Novo Nordisk Foundation – Center for Protein Research at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Previously he was a postdoctoral researcher with prof. Petr Leiman (2014-2016) at the EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) and with dr. Carlos Fernandez-Tornero (2012-2013) at CIB-CSIC (Madrid, Spain). In 2020 he has been accepted as an EMBO Young Investigator. The Taylor Group works to uncover the function of the systems that transport (macro)molecules across cell membranes. They are specifically interested in bacterial viruses, also known as bacteriophages, which inject DNA and protein into host cells, as well as bacteriophage-related systems which can inject toxins into eukaryotic cells.
