Luke Perera studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge University before proceeding to carry out an MRes and PhD in the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research. His PhD was conducted within the lab of David Ron, investigating the mechanism of post-translation Hsp70 chaperone regulation in endoplasmic reticulum protein folding homeostasis. Luke subsequently took up a postdoctoral fellow position in Steve Gamblin’s lab at the Francis Crick Institute, London. Here, his work focusses on the characterisation of viral membrane fusion pathways, in particular that of influenza A virus, through cryoEM-based studies of viral fusion proteins and their membrane interaction interfaces.
