About me
Nathan joined the Australian National Phenome Centre at Murdoch University in 2020. His research focuses on high-throughput measurement of small molecule metabolite biomarkers related to exercise, human health, and performance. He is actively involved in multidisciplinary projects, including micro-sampling collections for phenotyping measurements, exercise performance, fatigue, female health, and the impact of different types and frequencies of exercise on human health. His work primarily utilises analytical chemistry techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance for measuring small molecules.
In January 2024, Nathan was named a rising star in metabolomics research. This prestigious list highlights the most influential early-to-mid-career researchers working in Proteomics and Metabolomics. Nathan studied an undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Tasmania and an honours degree in human physiology where he was first introduced to analytical chemistry. Following his honours degree, he undertook a PhD at Murdoch University in the fields of Exercise and Sport Science using metabolic phenotyping methodologies. Following the completion of his PhD, Nathan worked in the Centre for Integrative Metabolomics and Computational Biology at Edith Cowan University under the guidance of Professor David Broadhurst and Associate Professor Mary Boyce.
