Charlotte Mary Deane MBE (born 1975) is an English Professor of Structural Bioinformatics and the former Head of the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford. Deane was appointed as Executive Chair of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) on 16 November 2023.[1]
Charlotte Deane was born in May 1975.[2] She completed her undergraduate education at University College, Oxford studying chemistry, obtaining a 2.1 degree and completing her final year project in Graham Richards' group.[3][2] She then went to the University of Cambridge to study structural bioinformatics supervised by Tom Blundell.[4] In 2000 she published her thesis entitled "Protein structure prediction: amino acid propensities and comparative modelling".[5]
Career and research
Deane moved to UCLA where she stayed for two years, supervised by David Eisenberg, as a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow, before returning to Oxford.[4][6]
Her research is on protein structure prediction, particularly antibodies. Her research group, Oxford Protein Informatics Group (OPIG), created a database of antibody structures called SABDab[7] and a server for prediction of antibody structures called SAbPred.[8][9][10]
Deane also researches immunoinformatics, biological networks and small molecules.[11]
