Professor Colin Berry

Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry, Cardiff University

Professor Berry’s work has focused on developing drug targets, and the biochemistry of insect control using insecticidal bacteria and the potent insecticidal proteins they produce. He has developed novel enzyme assay methods and studied drug targets in viral and parasitic diseases. He is an expert in the structure and function of insecticidal proteins and a coordinator of the Bacterial Pesticidal Protein Resource Center, the internationally recognised system for classifying and cataloguing these proteins.
