Derek Logan's research group is based at the Dept. of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at Lund University. His research focuses on the elucidation of structure-function relationships in proteins and their complexes. A particular focus is on allosteric regulation of the essential enzyme ribonucleotide reductase and drug design against the medically important galectin family of proteins. The principal methods used in the Logan group are X-ray and neutron crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering and cryo-electron microscopy. Dr. Logan worked for 15 years as a part-time beamline scientist at the MAX-lab synchrotron and is also responsible for the macromolecular crystallisation facility at Lund Protein Production Facility. He is Chief Scientific Officer of the company SARomics Biostructures AB at Medicon Village.
