Brief description
Dr Joel Mackay obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1993, and worked at the CSIRO Food Research Laboratory as an experimental scientist. He started off as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Sydney in 1995 before moving on to become a research fellow and eventually a senior lecturer at the School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences. The focus of his research is on understanding the molecular mechanisms that underpin erythrocyte development and gene regulation.Professor Joel Mackay is a specialist researcher in the field of protein structure, function, design and engineering.
Prof. Mackay was awarded his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1994 and moved to The University of Sydney the following year. Since that time, Prof. Mackay has established a vibrant research laboratory in the School of Molecular Bioscience and is respected internationally for his work.
His work has focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation and erythrocyte development. He determined the first structures of protein complexes showing that zinc-finger domains can mediate protein-protein interactions. These findings revealed the molecular basis for several human genetic disorders.
