Nick Morrice obtained his PhD from the University of London in 1987 and after 7 years at the University of Melbourne in Australia, joined the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit at the University of Dundee with Professor Sir Philip Cohen. Here he set up the proteomics facility for both the University of Dundee and the MRC Unit, specializing in protein phosphorylation site analysis using a combination of mass spectrometry and Edman sequencing of radiolabelled phosphopeptides. He became a group leader in 2002 running both a research group and core facility before moving to the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research In 2010 as Head of Proteomics and Group Leader. After setting up a successful proteomics and metabolomics facility he joined Sciex in 2014 as a senior support specialist for proteomics. His main focus with the company was developing microflow applications with the TripleTOF and zenoTOF mass spectrometers to improve throughput of both DDA and Swath analyses of complex biological samples. He was the Global Support Specialist for Proteomics delivering training on the 7600 ZenoTOF system in many high profile laboratories. He also worked on using  Electron Activated Dissociation methods on the 7600 zenoTOF to identify labile PTM’s such as phosphorylation and O-glycosylation.  Nick has published over 200 papers in the field of signal transduction and proteomics and has been a member of a number of scientific societies such as The Biochemical Society and the ABRF.
