Career Profile:

Lynette has many years of experience in the management of high field, high resolution NMR spectrometers, and has formal qualifications in chemistry and biochemistry.  The areas of research in which she has consulted and collaborated include the chemical sciences, peptide and protein structure, synthetic and natural polymers, biofluids, food sciences and bioengineering.  She has particular interests in natural product structure determination, protein structure and interactions, diffusion methods and multi-nuclear NMR.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Management of the 750MHz and 500 MHz high resolution spectrometers.  This involves training of operators, monitoring of the systems, and consulting and collaborating on research projects with research staff and post-graduate students.

These spectrometers are available to assist researchers across the university.  Please contact Lynette if you have a research project that may be advanced through the use of high resolution NMR.
