Professor Sally-Ann Poulsen
Griffith University, Australia
Sally-Ann Poulsen is Professor in Chemical Biology at the Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia. Her research focusses on the application of native state mass spectrometry to characterise complex biomolecules and their interactions of relevance to drug discovery modalities including targeted protein degradation, fragment-based drug discovery and RNA targeting. She established the Ramaciotti Australian Native Mass Spectrometry (nMS) Platform at Griffith University in 2024 with the first-in-Australia high resolution native charge detection mass spectrometer (nCDMS) that allows mass measurements for large multiprotein assemblies in their native state (i.e., folded and biologically relevant context).She was appointed as a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) in 2017 and was Chair of the RACI Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology Division 2021-2023. She is the author of more than one hundred publications in the field of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.
