We are a biomedical discovery institute researching the biology underlying human health.

The Crick magazine, spring 2026

University of California, Berkeley

Crick Lectures are delivered by leading internationally-renowned scientists from the Francis Crick Institute and elsewhere and cover the full spectrum of biomedical research. They aim to be relatively accessible to scientists in all biomedical disciplines, whilst also offering something for the specialist.

The talks are open to scientists from other institutes and universities from across London and beyond. You should have a minimum of graduate-level biological knowledge to attend and fully engage with these talks. Find out how to attend here.

Eva Nogales is a professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Eva studied physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, did her doctorate in biophysics at the University of Keele, and her postdoctoral work at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), where she obtained the structure of tubulin using electron crystallography. She has been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator since 2000 and is a Senior Faculty Scientist at LBNL. Her lab uses cryo-EM to describe the structure, dynamics and interactions of biological assemblies essential to the life of all eukaryotic cells, including microtubules and associated factors, and complexes involved in gene transcription activation and epigenetic gene silencing.

Eva is a member of the Royal Society, the National Academy of Sciences, USA, and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and a foreign member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Spain and of EMBO. In 2020 she served as President of ASCB. In 2023 she received the Shaw Prize in Life Science and Medicine for her structural studies of the human transcription preinitiation complex.
