We believe the more we collaborate the more we create.
Our platforms and facilities have training available for researchers outside the Crick.
Explore our science through our vibrant public programme of free events and exhibitions.
We are a biomedical discovery institute researching the biology underlying human health.
The Francis Crick Institute
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. Please pre-register if you would like to attend. Find out more.

Principal Group Leader Ian Taylor gives this week's lecture. Ian runs the Macromolecular Structural Lab at the Crick which investigates the three-dimensional structures of the molecular machines inside cells to better understand how they work.
Biography
Ian Taylor graduated with a PhD in biophysics from the university of Portsmouth in 1993. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Medical Research Council National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in London and the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics (LMB) in Oxford. In 2001 he took up a position as a Principal Investigator in the division of Molecular Structure at NIMR (now part of the Francis Crick Institute), gaining full tenure in 2008.
His current research interests are based around the understanding of macromolecular assemblies involved in transcriptional regulation, retroviral assembly and retroviral restriction. To address these biological questions his lab employs techniques ranging from x-ray crystallography and small angle x-ray scattering to analytical ultracentrifugation, optical spectroscopy and protein chemistry.
