About
Professor Perdita E. Barran is a leading figure in analytical chemistry and biophysics, renowned for pioneering the application of mass spectrometry to unravel the complexities of biological systems. Her research focuses on the structural biology of intrinsically disordered proteins and the development of high-throughput screening methods. A major contribution is her work on ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IM-MS), which she has advanced to probe the conformational dynamics of proteins, particularly those implicated in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's. Her landmark paper, "High throughput screening of complex biological samples with mass spectrometry – from bulk measurements to single cell analysis" (2018, 90 citations), exemplifies her drive to push analytical boundaries, addressing key challenges in biomarker discovery and drug development. With over 200 publications and a citation count exceeding 10,000, Barran’s impact is profound. She also co-founded the company *Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS)* for surgical applications, and her leadership as Director of the Michael Barber Centre for Collaborative Mass Spectrometry underscores her role as a transformative force in modern mass spectrometry.
