Morten Thaysen Andersen, Australia
What is your current position and location?
My principal affiliation is with Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia where I am a tenured Associate Professor and Head of the Analytical Glycoimmunology group. I am an Australian Research Council Future Fellow, which means that I currently focus mostly on research activities. As a Visiting Professor I also run a satellite lab in Clinical Glycoproteomics at the Institute for Glyco-Core Research (iGCORE) at Nagoya University, Japan where I spend around 20% of my time over the (too) hot Australian summer months.
How did you get started in the field of proteomics?
I started my research career in the early 2000s in the Protein Research group at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark. Here I was incredibly lucky and privileged to receive training from pioneers in protein chemistry and proteomics including Profs Peter Højrup, Martin Larsen and Ole Jensen, opening a world of opportunity. Given my growing interest in protein glycosylation, I then relocated to Prof Nicolle Packer’s Glycomics lab at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. After having completed a few postdoc positions under Nicki’s outstanding guidance, I decided to combine my background and experience in proteomics and glycomics and established my own research program in glycoproteomics in 2017.
