Rate My Professor Trevor Forsyth

Forsyth specializes in structural biology and biophysics, applying neutron and synchrotron X-ray methods, high-field NMR, and cryo-electron microscopy to investigate molecular mechanisms of amyloid formation and its links to clinical conditions like transthyretin cardiomyopathy and polyneuropathy. His contributions include extensive publications such as “The interaction of human serum components with model membranes containing phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides” (Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2025), “Counter-diffusion studies of human transthyretin: the growth of high-quality crystals for X-ray and neutron crystallography” (Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2025), “Structure and dynamics of the active site of hen egg-white lysozyme from atomic resolution neutron crystallography” (Structure, 2025), “Neutron diffraction from a microgravity-grown crystal reveals the active site hydrogens of the internal aldimine form of tryptophan synthase” (Cell Reports Physical Science, 2024), and “High-Density Lipoprotein function is modulated by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in a lipid-type dependent manner” (Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2023). Through LINXS, he promotes interdisciplinary collaborations across academia, public sectors, and industry in neutron and X-ray life sciences.
