His research encompasses traditional biophysical approaches and modern drug discovery. The Tame group is particularly well-known for its work into the structure and evolution of haemoglobin (Hb), recently revealing the unique properties of crocodile Hb that allow these animals to remain submerged underwater for hours at a time.

Several years after completing his PhD in the UK, he was a awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship, and during this period he took sabbatical leave in Kyoto, Japan.

Professor Mario Telò

Visiting 22 - 28 February 2026

Nominator: Professor Victoria Rimmel, Classics and Ancient History

Mario Telò is Professor of Ancient Greek & Roman Studies, Rhetoric, and Comparative Literature at the University of California Berkeley. His scholarship seeks to place antiquity in dialogue with modernity, defamiliarizing and destabilizing widely accepted critical positions by exploring the emancipatory potential of textual and visual form. 

Recent books include Archive Feelings: A Theory of Greek Tragedy (Ohio State University Press 2020), Resistant Form: Aristophanes and the Comedy of Crisis (Tangent, Punctum Books 2023), and Reading Greek Tragedy with Judith Butler (Bloomsbury 2024).

The planned events of the Fellowship relate to the development of a new project, Edward Said and the Late Animal: the Queer Politics of Graeco-Roman Style, and also to an edited volume in progress on Jean-Luc Nancy’s Exscripted Antiquities, where Telò will explore a newer interest in contemporary sculpture.
