Professor of Membrane Biochemistry

Biography

Having completed his undergraduate and D.Phil training at Oxford University, Dr Mason spent six years abroad, in Germany (FMP Berlin and Goethe University in Frankfurt) and then France (ULP, Strasbourg), before returning to the UK and taking up an academic position at King's College London. The research focus of Dr Mason's group is to combine biophysical methods with systems biology approaches (NMR metabolomics coupled with next generation sequencing) to understand how events at biological membranes influence biological outcomes. This is applied to understanding how antibiotics function, how bacteria respond to these and other environmental challenges and the functional consequences of alterations in lung, gut or vaginal microbiomes.

The Multiscale Biofilm Research Hub (MBRH)

The Multiscale Biofilm Research Hub (MBRH) has been established to promote interdisciplinary interactions and focus microbial biofilm related research at King’s.

MBRH theme1
Biofilms at mucosal surfaces

The study of dental caries, periodontitis, vaginal dysbiosis, chronic inflammatory diseases & infections within the oral cavity, intestinal tract & lungs

Project status: Ongoing

MBRH theme2
Dermatological and non-mucosal biofilms

We are studying the role of biofilms in dermatitis, chronic pain, diabetic ulcers, nail infections and chronic wounds.

Project status: Ongoing

MBRH theme3
Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm therapeutics

Work involves understanding how biofilms contribute to antimicrobial resistance and the creation of new anti-biofilm therapeutics.

Project status: Ongoing
