Colin Dingwall BSc. PhD.
Colin is currently Professor of Biochemistry at Kings College, London in the Pharmaceutical Science Division. He has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry where he was biology leader of key drug discovery programmes in Alzheimer’s disease and was involved in in-licensing activities and establishing valuable academic collaborations in the general area of neurodegeneration.
He graduated with first class honours in Biochemistry from Newcastle University and subsequently moved to the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. His most significant research achievements during his time in Cambridge were in cell biology in the area of nuclear protein transport. He discovered that nuclear protein transport is a signal-mediated, two-step process and identified the bipartite nuclear localisation signal (NLS) which is the major NLS in cellular proteins. He was a visiting scientist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Heidelberg for two years and was a faculty member in the Pharmacology Department, State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA. At King’s College he is continuing his research into the role of the amyloidogenic pathway in Alzheimer’s disease.
