Speaker
Prof. David J. Scurr is a Principal Research Fellow at The University of Nottingham. He has pioneered the application of ToF-SIMS and OrbiSIMS in the field of pharmacy and biology. He obtained a BSc in Materials Science (2002) and PhD focusing upon materials characterisation (2005) at The University of Manchester. David’s research has a focus upon the implantation of novel data processing strategies, such as molecular formula prediction (MFP) [Edney et al. Anal. Chem. 2022].
His research highlights include the characterisation of biological samples using ToF-SIMS and OrbiSIMS, for example, breakthrough research into the in situ analysis of unlabelled proteins [Kotowska et al. Nature Comms, 2020] forming the basis of novel research in the development of proteomics / metabolomics, diseased tissue analysis and biomaterials at The University of Nottingham. Additionally, David’s research has demonstrated the ability of SIMS to characterise skin tissue and understand permeation mechanisms of xenobiotic chemistries (pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agrochemical and antibacterial) within complex tissues such as skin [Starr et al. PNAS, 2022].
