Keith Willison is a Professor of Chemical Biology at Imperial College, specializing in protein folding biophysics, genetics, and proteomics. His research explores the molecular mechanisms of protein folding, focusing on chaperonin systems such as the CCT complex, which assists in the folding and assembly of actin and tubulin. His work also investigates the role of chaperonins in cellular processes, including cytoskeletal organization and cell cycle progression. Willison's research integrates structural and functional studies to elucidate how these molecular machines regulate protein stability and function. His publications highlight the importance of chaperonins in development, disease, and cellular homeostasis.
