A/Prof Morten Andersen obtained a PhD in Protein Chemistry in 2009 from Univ Southern Denmark and thereafter relocated to Australia to complete two fellowships awarded by the Danish Research Agency and Australian Research Council. Enabled by a Cancer Institute NSW fellowship (2014-17), he then established the Analytical Glycoimmunology lab at Macquarie Univ, Sydney, Australia. He is currently a tenured ARC Future Fellow (2022-26) at Macquarie Univ and was recently recruited to the Institute for Glyco-Core Research (Nagoya Univ, Japan) as Visiting Professor to establish a satellite lab in clinical glycoproteomics (2022-27). Andersen's research team develops and applies MS-based glycoproteomics methods for the comprehensive profiling of the heterogenous glycoproteome, which opens new avenues to decode the role of glycoproteins in complex biological processes. His current research program in glycoimmunology focuses on the innate immune system and immune disorders including inflammation (sepsis), host-pathogen interactions and cancer.
