John Hagan Pryce Bayley FRS, FLSW (born 13 February 1951[1]) is a British scientist, who holds the position of Professor of Chemical Biology at the University of Oxford.[5][6][7][8][9]
Bayley was educated at The King's School, Chester and Uppingham School[1], before going to Balliol College, Oxford in 1970 [10] and Harvard University, where he was awarded a Ph.D. in 1979.[4][11]
Originally from Wales, he spent much of his early career between the United Kingdom and the United States.[12]
Research
Bayley's research is largely based on the study and engineering of transmembrane pore-forming proteins,[13] as well as interests in chemical signal transduction and biomolecular materials.[14] He is the co-founder of Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd. Bayley's research includes work on the pore-forming protein alpha haemolysin[15] engineered for sensing has been highly cited.[16]
