He was a member of the team of Dorothy Hodgkin that solved in 1969 the first structure of a protein hormone, insulin. Blundell has made contributions to the structural biology of polypeptide hormones, growth factors, receptor activation, signal transduction, and DNA double-strand break repair, subjects important in cancer, tuberculosis, and familial diseases. He has developed software for protein modeling and understanding the effects of mutations on protein function, leading to new approaches to structure-guided and fragment-based drug discovery. In 1999 he co-founded the oncology company Astex Therapeutics, which has moved ten into clinical trials. Blundell has played central roles in restructuring British research councils and, as President of the UK Science Council, in developing professionalism in the practice of science. ==Education== Born in Brighton in 1942, Blundell was educated at Steyning Grammar School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Professor Sir Tom Blundell FRS FMedSci )〕 His Master of Arts degree and DPhil are from the University of Oxford, working with Dorothy Hodgkin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Blundell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
