Associate Professor Matt Padula is the Director of the Proteomics, Metabolomics and Lipidomics Core Facility at the University of Technology Sydney. He has 27 years of experience in proteomics, including chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry analysis of peptides and proteins, protein electrophoresis, sample preparation by native and denaturing methodologies, and bioinformatics pipelines to determine how proteome abundance changes affect biology. Since 2008 he has published 130+ articles with over 4100 citations. His focus also includes lipids and metabolites, specifically developing methods and techniques to extract and fractionate these molecules, subject them to mass spectrometry for identification and quantification, and perform bioinformatic analysis to determine whether changes in abundance in these molecules is significant. Assoc Prof Padula provides high level technical support, experimental design, methodology development and instrumentation training required for novice researchers, training and guiding approximately 100 researchers to perform proteomic, metabolomic and lipidomic analyses, helping researchers with no previous experience to plan and perform experiments for maximum reproducibility. Matt is still a hands on researcher, spending 10-15 hours per week in the laboratory developing techniques and technologies to more reliably quantify the changes in proteoform abundance in a wide range of sample types. He provides direct training in these techniques to researchers to allow them to achieve their research goals, minimising time and maximising resources. Matt is a member of the Australasian Proteomics Society, the ANZ Metabolomics Society, is NSW Regional Correspondant for ANZSMS, and a member of the Australasian Core Facilities Group, coordinating the second Multicentre Testing Initiative investigating DIA techniques and their reproducibility across facilities.
