Oliver Crook

Oliver Crook is a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research interests include protein-protein interactions in host-parasite systems, with a focus on molecular parasitology, particularly the manipulation of red-blood cell proteins by the malaria parasite. He employs experimental and computational biophysics approaches to study these interactions. Additionally, his work explores the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in biosecurity, protein design, and genomic and protein language models. Crook's research also involves understanding protein conformations using experimental data and computational methods such as molecular dynamics. He holds a Todd-Bird Junior Research Fellow position at New College until 2027.

Oliver M. Crook is an MRC Fellow at the University of Oxford, specializing in Artificial Intelligence, Bayesian Statistics, Machine Learning, Proteomics, and Biosecurity. His research integrates computational methods with biological data to advance understanding of subcellular processes and disease mechanisms. He has developed Bayesian approaches for spatial proteomics, enabling the analysis of protein localization and dynamics. His work includes high-resolution proteomic profiling of cellular responses to pathogens and the application of machine learning to biosecurity challenges. Crook's publications span proteomic analysis, statistical modeling, and computational biology, emphasizing the intersection of data science and life sciences.
