Early life and education edit
Charlotte Deane was born in May 1975.[1] She completed her undergraduate education at University College, Oxford studying chemistry, completing her final year project in Graham Richards' group.[2][1] She then went to the University of Cambridge to study structural bioinformatics supervised by Tom Blundell.[3] In 2000 she published her thesis entitled "Protein structure prediction: amino acid propensities and comparative modelling".[4]
Career and research edit
Deane moved to UCLA where she stayed for two years supervised by David Eisenberg as a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow, before moving back to Oxford.[3][5]
Her research is focused on the prediction of protein structures, particularly antibodies. Her research group, Oxford Protein Informatics Group (OPIG), created a database of antibody structures called SABDab[6] and a server for prediction of antibody structures called SAbPred.[7][8][9]
In addition, Deane's research is focused on immunoinformatics, biological networks and small molecules.[10]
Honours and awards edit
In 2007 and 2008, Deane was awarded an Oxford Teaching Award.[11][12] In 2002 she was elected as fellow of Kellogg College and University Lecturer.[13] In 2010 she was elected as Professor of Structural Bioinformatics and in October 2015 she was appointed Head of the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford.[14][15] She is the first female Head of department since the department was created in 1988.[citation needed]
In 2014, Deane became Associate Head of the Mathematical Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS) division and the Deputy Head of the Division in 2018.[16][17]
Deane became a fellow of St Anne's College in 2015.[18]
In September 2019, Deane was appointed Deputy Executive Chair of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).[19]
As of January 2022, Deane joined Exscientia as Chief Scientist of Biologics AI.[20]
She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours for services to Covid-19 research.[21]
