Structural immunology, innate and adaptive immunity, pathogen recognition & adaptation.
Dr Harkiolaki has been at Diamond since 2012. She has been involved with the design, procurement and installation of B24 components as well as the development of other high resolution microscopy methods that will be used in a correlative fashion to the data generated by the B24 full field X-ray microscope. Previously, she was a Principal Investigator at the Structural Biology Laboratory at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine of the University of Oxford. While there she worked on a range of biomedical research projects with emphasis initially on human adaptive immunity, later expanding to model studies of innate immunity. In specific, she studied MHC class II molecules relating to multiple sclerosis, MHC class I molecules relating to allo reactivity & HIV response as well as MHC class I complexes expressed upon antigenic challenge in livestock. Moreover, she has developed a library of innate immunity molecules relating to two species of honey bee: western and asiatic, to be studied further and in conjunction with emerging data from other laboratories. Dr Harkiolaki studied for her PhD at the University of York, under the supervision of Professors K. Wilson and E. Dodson.
