Tanmay A. M. Bharat

Tanmay A. M. Bharat is a programme leader in the Structural Studies Division of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.

His work has increased the understanding of how surface molecules help in the formation of multicellular communities of prokaryotes, examples of which include biofilms and microbiomes.

He then undertook research at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany for his PhD working with John A. G.

His work on several viral capsid proteins improved understanding of how viruses are assembled within infected cells.

[6][7][8][9] He subsequently joined the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge to pursue post-doctoral research with Jan Löwe using cryo-EM to study proteins within bacterial cells.
