Clifford is a Research Fellow at the Future Industries Institute, University of South Australia.
He obtained a PhD in Biochemistry from Victoria University of Wellington after using gel-based proteomics to study the cellular effects of an algal toxin. His interests in proteomic technologies led the New Zealander to Denmark, where he spent time at the University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen learning and implementing strategies to investigate the biological roles of protein post-translational modifications.

About me
Clifford is a Research Fellow at the Future Industries Institute, University of South Australia.
He obtained a PhD in Biochemistry from Victoria University of Wellington after using gel-based proteomics to study the cellular effects of an algal toxin. His interests in proteomic technologies led the New Zealander to Denmark, where he spent time at the University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen learning and implementing strategies to investigate the biological roles of protein post-translational modifications. These chemical additions are notoriously difficult to study because of their low abundance, which often require enrichment protocols and detection by high resolution mass spectrometry. Clifford also has extensive experience with liquid chromatography and Orbitrap mass spectrometers, as well as performing selected/parallel reaction monitoring for the quantification of peptides and metabolites.
Clifford joined the Future Industries Institute at the end of 2018 and is enthusiastic about scientific collaborations with research groups and industrial companies in South Australia. Interested parties are welcome to contact Clifford for initial discussions.
