Shaun is a PhD student at Adelaide University under the supervision of Professor Tara Pukala. After completing a Bachelor of Science (Advanced) in Chemistry, Shaun joined the Pukala group to complete a Master of Philosophy, studying the development of mass spectrometric immunoassays for the detection of amyloid protein aggregates as neurodegenerative disease biomarkers. Currently, Shaun’s PhD research is interested in the top-down proteomic characterisation of a range of snake venoms, using mass spectrometry tools such as native-MS and ion mobility to gain greater insights into venom proteins.
