Abstract
ABSTRACT Stephen Royle studied Biological Sciences at the University of Sheffield. He then pursued a PhD in the lab of Ruth Murrell-Lagnado at the University of Cambridge, UK, where he investigated the molecular mechanisms of P2X receptor trafficking. In 2002, he joined Leon Lagnado's group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge for his postdoc to work on synaptic vesicle endocytosis in neurons, and here he also discovered a novel mitotic function of clathrin. Steve set up his lab at the University of Liverpool in 2006, and in 2013 moved to the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology, Warwick Medical School as a Senior Cancer Research UK Fellow; there he has been a Professor since 2019. The Royle lab is interested in understanding molecular mechanisms of membrane trafficking and mitosis. Steve is also on the Board of Directors of The Company of Biologists and the Advisory Groups of Journal of Cell Science and preLights. He is the recipient of the 2021 Hooke medal, established to recognize an emerging leader in cell biology.
