Biography
Wyatt Yue is a structural biologist with an MA (Biochemistry) from University of Oxford, and a PhD (Crystallography) from Birkbeck College London.
He specializes in the use of structural, biochemical and chemical biology approaches to study diverse metabolic protein families in the human genome. His team has to date deposited >240 human crystals structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), and aims to translate basic science into design of small molecule therapeutics for rare diseases with unmet need.
In 2021, he is awarded the inaugural Harrington UK Rare Disease Scholar. Since July 2021, Wyatt has joined the Biosciences Institute at Newcastle University as Professor of Structural Biology. He leads a team of postdoc and graduate researchers, integrated into the Newcastle Structural Biology Laboratory.
His research focuses on a molecular understanding towards the cause and therapy of rare metabolic diseases, and falls into the cross-cutting themes of Molecular Mechanisms of Life and Discovery of Medicines of the Faculty of Medical Sciences.
