We are a team of designers, writers and technologists working with associates from science, health and education. 

Stephen Curry is an Emeritus Professor of Structural Biology, having retired from Imperial in late 2024. Prior to that he served as one of seven College Consuls, and as Imperial’s first Assistant Provost for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

Prof. Curry is also a member of the Department of Life Sciences (DoLS), where he worked for many years as a structural biologist on a variety protein-drug interactions and the replication of RNA viruses such as foot-and-mouth disease virus and human norovirus (the winter vomiting bug). His group made major contributions to our understanding of drug interactions with human serum albumin and of a range of host-virus protein interactions that are crucial to initiate translation of viral RNA into new virus proteins in infected cells.

Though he has wound down his research and teaching activities, Prof. Curry retains strong interests the wider role of science in society. He is active in public engagement, having made and presented a number of science videos. He has keen interests in science policy, particularly in R&D funding, in research evaluation (and the use and mis-use of metrics), and in scholarly publication. From 2017–23 he was Chair of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and has served in an advisory capacity to a number of national and international organisations, including the Swiss National Science Foundation and the FWF (the national research funder in Austria).

He has written extensively about science and the scientific life in the Guardian and on his Reciprocal Space blog. Though retired from Imperial, he retains a position as Director of Strategy at the Research on Research Institute.
