Protein and Enzyme Engineering

I am a Research Technician in the Biotechnologies team, specialising in Biochemistry. My passion for Biochemistry began during my undergraduate degree at the University of Otago, leading me into a Master’s degree with a focus on post-translational modification, specifically ubiquitylation.

I am a Senior Scientist in the Protein Science & Engineering (PSE) team within the Biotechnologies group. As a molecular biologist, I have worked on bacterial, plant and mammalian recombinant protein expression systems.

As a Senior Scientist in the Proteins and Enzymes team, my main focus is the development of extraction and purification strategies and analysis of high value proteins and enzymes.

I moved to New Zealand in 1997 to join the Glycobiology and Enzyme Technology Team (GET) at Industrial Research Limited as a postdoctoral researcher.

I am a Research Scientist in the Protein Science and Engineering team within the Biotechnologies division at Callaghan Innovation. My work revolves around cell based assays, mammalian cell models and using bioassays, immunological assays, and fluorescent microscopy to assess the effects of treatment on these models.

I am a Senior Scientist in the Biotechnologies Group at Callaghan Innovation, specialising in analytical biochemistry.

I'm currently the Team Leader and Principal Research Scientist in the Proteins and Enzymes team within the Biotechnologies group. I have deep experience and expertise in the field of biochemistry around biotransformation, protein extraction, glycoenzymes and bioassays.

I am a Research Scientist within the Protein Science and Engineering team at Callaghan Innovation. My specialty is in protein purification as well as protein expression from a variety of organisms including: E. coli, yeast, bacillus as well as cell-free expression systems.
