Research Fellow
Monash University, Australia
Dr Terry Lim graduated with a Bachelor of Biotechnology with first-class Honours (specialising in medical biotechnology) and subsequently completed a PhD at Monash University under the supervision of Professor Anthony Purcell. His PhD work involved cutting-edge proteomics and immunopeptidomics mass spectrometry techniques to understand the immunology of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 in the development of the autoimmune disease Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Dr Lim’s interests in cancer biology has led a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Professor Roger Daly’s laboratory. During this time, he applied phosphoproteomics techniques as a tool to dissect the molecular changes in pancreatic, brain and breast cancer patient-derived organoids (PDO) and xenografts (PDX) models, to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for personalised cancer treatments.
Dr Lim currently the clinical (phospho)proteomics specialist at Monash Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility. Using patient derived samples and models, his project involves developing immunotherapy by applying his expertise in (phospho)proteomics and immunopeptidomics, with a focus in developing high-throughput workflows for large scale clinical proteomics studies.
