Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon

Benjamin established his group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in 2019. As a graduate student with Michel Goedert, he investigated molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the prion-like propagation of tau pathology, receiving a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Cambridge. Benjamin subsequently carried out a postdoc with Michel Goedert and Sjors Scheres at the LMB, where he helped to determine the first structures of pathological protein assemblies in neurodegenerative diseases using electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM). Benjamin is a Young Investigator at the European Molecular Biology Organisation and a Co-investigator at the UK Dementia Research Institute. Among his awards are the Vallee Scholar Award and the Biochemical Society Colworth Medal.
