Ed Nice is Head of Clinical Biomarker Discovery and Validation at Monash University. His research interests lay in in the fields of proteomics, chromatography, SPR biosensor analysis and biomarker discovery and validation. In particular, he has focused on the development of new techniques (e.g. micropreparative HPLC, novel chromatographic supports, biosensor analysis, high throughput monoclonal antibody production, proteomics) for the micropurification, characterisation and analysis of protein growth factors, their receptors and associated signalling molecules to help understand their role in neoplasia (in particular for colorectal cancer (CRC)) with a focus on translational research.
