Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon is a Research Leader at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK.  He obtained his BSc from University College London. Benjamin completed his graduate studies with Michel Goedert at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), receiving a PhD in molecular biology from the University of Cambridge. He subsequently carried out a postdoc with Michel Goedert and Sjors Scheres at the LMB, where he helped to determine the electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of assembled tau in neurodegenerative diseases. Since October 2019, Benjamin has led a research group at the LMB, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms of pathological protein assembly in neurodegenerative diseases.
For his research, Benjamin has received the Alzheimer’s Research UK Rising Star Award, the Breuer Foundation Alzheimer’s Research Award and the SCOR Young European Researcher Prize. He was elected to the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) Young Investigator Programme in 2022.
