Ben Corry

Ben Corry is a Fellow at the Australian National University's Research School of Biology. His research focuses on the structure and function of membrane proteins, including channels, transporters, and receptors, with an emphasis on understanding molecular transport mechanisms across cell membranes. He also investigates transport in synthetic and crystalline pores, aiming to design porous membranes for water desalination and contaminant removal. Corry's work combines computational techniques, such as molecular dynamics and quantum calculations, with experimental methods like FRET microscopy to study protein conformational changes. His research has led to the development of biomimetic membranes for water filtration and has been supported by various grants, including ARC and NHMRC projects.

Ben Corry is a researcher at the Australian National University with expertise in molecular dynamics, ion channels, membrane transport, desalination, and FRET. His work explores the mechanisms of ion permeation and selectivity in biological systems, such as calcium and sodium channels, and investigates the role of dehydration in ion transport through narrow pores. Corry also focuses on the design of carbon nanotube membranes for efficient water desalination and the application of computational methods to assess their performance. His research includes the study of redox control in calcium channels and the development of bioinspired graphene nanopores with tunable ion selectivity. Additionally, he examines the limitations of continuum theories in modeling ion transport and the importance of coordination number in potassium channel selectivity.
