Sheena Radford

Education Radford received her BSc in Biochemistry at the University of Birmingham and her PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge in 1987. Radford completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford. investigates protein folding, protein aggregation and amyloid disease. Her multi-disciplinary research focuses include such disciplines as biochemistry, chemistry and medicine.

One major research focus is the role of protein misfolding in the onset of amyloidogenic diseases, including dialysis-related amyloidosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Type II diabetes. This has been done with the use of native mass spectrometry, NMR and single molecule methods to characterize intermediates of protein folding and in amyloid formation. a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014 and an International Member of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, in 2024.

Radford is a member of Faculty of 1000.

Radford was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to molecular biology research.
