Prof. Colin Robinson

About

Colin Robinson is Professor of Biotechnology at the University of Kent. Much of the research in the Robinson lab is focused on the mechanisms by which proteins are transported into and across biological membranes, with a particular focus on the bacterial protein export system, Tat. Current research in the lab involves the exploitation of bacterial protein export systems for the production of high value recombinant proteins, as well as investigation of the unique proofreading mechanism of the bacterial and plant Tat systems. Professor Robinson was Director of two RCUK Doctoral Training Centres during his time at the University of Warwick, has participated in four EU projects including Coordination of one, and is PI on research grants totalling £7.8M including a 4-centre BBSRC/InnovateUK IB Catalyst award and the newly awarded GCRF grant.
