Meet Frank, a co-investigator on PROTECT

Frank has been focusing on conceiving, developing and running the world-leading XChem facility for crystal-based fragment screening at Diamond Light Source (~40 projects/year). 

He was the co-founder of the COVID Moonshot, a global open-science effort to develop a globally accessible antiviral pill against SARS-CoV-2. He has also driven development of PanDDA software (pan-dataset density analysis) using novel noise-reduction for identifying weakly-bound ligands in crystal structures, used world-wide in industrial drug discovery.
