Helen Ruth Saibil FRS FMedSci (born August 12, 1950)[1] is a Canadian-British molecular biologist and Professor of Structural Biology at the Department of Crystallography of Birkbeck, University of London.[2][3] Her research is largely focuses on molecular chaperones and protein misfolding.

Saibil completed undergraduate studies at McGill University in 1971 followed by a PhD at King's College London, receiving her thesis in 1977 entitled Diffraction studies of retinal rod outer segment membranes.[4][5] Saibil went on to work at CEA Grenoble and the University of Oxford.[6] Saibil has been at Birkbeck since 1989, and was elected to the Royal Society in 2006[7] and the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2009.[8][9] Her research interests are on the operation of macromolecular machines using three-dimensional electron microscopy in the areas of molecular chaperones and assisted protein folding/unfolding, misfolding into amyloid, and protein refolding in membrane pore formation.[10]
