Academics
Dr Bríd Cronin
Welcome
I am a Research Fellow and Tutor in chemistry at Keble, as well as an EPSRC postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemistry. I am interested in all areas of science so I enjoy the interdisciplinary nature of my work.
Research Interests
My research focuses on using single molecule fluorescence, in particular total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, as a tool to study membrane proteins. We have recently developed a new method for simultaneously measuring single-channel electrical currents and fluorescence from membrane proteins by using water-in-oil droplet bilayers. The ability to simultaneously monitor both the ionic current and fluorescence from membrane channels and pores has the potential to link structural changes with function in such proteins.
