Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlice Pyne is a Professor of Biophysics based in Sheffield with nine years of experience pioneering single-molecule imaging at nanometre and double‑helical resolution. Her work combines advanced AFM techniques and collaborative metrology to reveal how topoisomerases untwist DNA and how clinically important antibiotics and anticancer drugs disrupt that process. She progressed rapidly from EPSRC Doctoral Prize fellowships to a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship and now a professorship, reflecting both deep technical skill and research leadership. Alice’s approach bridges academia, industry (Bruker) and national labs (Francis Crick Institute), and she has visualised alternative DNA structures like triplexes and quadruplexes at single-molecule resolution—capabilities few labs possess.
