Dr Andrew Jones

BSc, PhD

Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology and Genomics

School of Biological and Medical Sciences

Role

I completed my Biochemistry undergraduate degree at Imperial College London in 1996. I was then awarded a PhD at the University of Leeds in 2000, studying acetylcholinesterase and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of the blood fluke, Schistosoma. In 2001 I carried on research of invertebrate cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels at the MRC Functional Genomics Unit, Oxford, until 2011. After a year's postdoctoral research at the Botnar Institute, Oxford, I became Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology and Genomics at Oxford Brookes University in 2012.

Research

My laboratory is interested in gene diversity and the resulting functional/pharmacological properties of ligand-gated ion channels, using genome sequence analysis, molecular biology and electrophysiology. In particular, I am focusing on cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels of insects. The cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel superfamily includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, GABA receptors and glutamate-gated chloride channels, which play key roles in signalling and are also of interest as they are targets of pesticides. I am also interested in investigating changes (commonly mutations) in cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels that give rise to pesticide resistance.
