Ivanhoe K.H. Leung
Dr. Leung is a Senior Lecturer in Biological Chemistry at the University of Melbourne. Dr. Leung attained his undergraduate and doctorate degrees at the University of Oxford, and began his independent research career at the University of Auckland in 2013. In 2018, he was appointed co-Deputy Director of the Centre for Green Chemistry Science at the University of Auckland. In 2021, Dr. Leung joined the University of Melbourne, where he is now part of the School of Chemistry and the Bio21 Molecular Science & Biotechnology Institute.
Dr. Leung’s research focuses on the study of enzyme structure, function, and modulation with an aim to help solve some of the world’s most urgent challenges in health and sustainability. One of his main research interests is the study of multi-copper oxidase including polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and laccase.
