Jonathon Nixon-Abell

Jonathon began his research career with a joint PhD program in the labs of Prof. Kirsten Harvey (UCL) and Dr. Craig Blackstone (NIH/Harvard). Following the completion of his PhD in 2016, Jonathon was awarded an ORISE and HHMI visiting fellowship to undertake postdoctoral work in the lab of Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz (HHMI Janelia), before moving back to the UK as a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow in the lab of Peter St George-Hyslop (Cambridge). As of 2024 Jonathon is a Group Leader and Wellcome CDA fellow at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research where his team study organelle interactions and dynamics, with a particular focus on neurons and how these processes are corrupted in neurological disease.

Research group & PI: The Nixon-Abell Lab

Our lab is focussed on identifying the cellular machinery and mechanisms responsible for orchestrating communication between organelles. Our goal is to unravel how these factors enable cells to function properly and understand what goes awry during various diseases.
