Autorenportrait

MARK W. ROBINSON is a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Infection, Immunity and Innovation (i3) Institute at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), Australia. Robinson received a BSc (Hons) in Zoology (1999) and a PhD in molecular parasitology (2003) from Queen's University, Belfast (Northern Ireland). As a postdoctoral researcher, he worked on nematode proteomics and molecular biology at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) until 2007 when he was awarded a prestigious Wain International Fellowship from the British Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to continue his proteomics research at UTS (Australia). Robinson was awarded a UTS Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2008 which he currently holds as an independent researcher. His research interests include proteomics of host-pathogen interactions, structure-function relationships of parasite immuno-modulators and the molecular biology of helminth proteases.
