Berin A Boughton
Berin Boughton completed a PhD (2010) in Organic Chemistry from the University of Melbourne. After completing his PhD he took up a number of synthetic research roles focused on organometallic cross-coupling reactions and mass spectrometric analysis of organometallic complexes; in 2009 he significantly changed research focus taking up a post-doctoral position with Metabolomics Australia where he was awarded an Early Career Researcher Award and Vanderbilt-University of Melbourne Partnership Grants. Since 2013 he has lead the development of Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) at Metabolomics Australia using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-FTICR-MS) for the spatial analysis of metabolites in a variety of systems. His research is focused on developing new IMS methods to explore the interactions between parasite and host, mapping the distribution of plant secondary metabolites and the development of novel chemical matrices for MALDI-MS.
