Discovery & Characterisation

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 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.

I am Shuguang Zhang, a Principal Research Scientist specialising in Bioprocessing and Fermentation in the field of Biotechnologies. My training is in microbiology and I work manipulating microorganisms, including bacteria, filamentous fungi, and yeasts, at both molecular and flask/agar plate scales.

I am a Senior Scientist specialising in Bioprocessing and Fermentation where my expertise lies in the culture of fastidious microorganisms and pathogens, cloning and microbiome research.

I graduated from the chemical department of the Far-Eastern State University (Russia), before joining the top Russian lipid research laboratory at the Institute of Marine Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok.

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'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 Senior Research Scientist specialist working on lipids and natural products within the Biotechnologies team. My work revolves around utilising analytical techniques such as LCMS and SFCMS for the quantification, isolation, and structural elucidation of natural product compounds.

I'm a Senior Research Scientist in the Biotechnologies group working in Lipids and Natural Products where I specialise in the analysis and modification of fats and oils, including utilising enzyme technology.

I am a Principal Research Scientist in the Biotechnologies group where I manage the commercial analytical activities for the Lipids team. During my time at Callaghan Innovation I have established phosphorous-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis of phospholipids.
