Paul Ramsland
Associate Professor Paul A. Ramsland received his PhD (1998) in Molecular Immunology from the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) supervised by Robert L. Raison. His postdoctoral studies (1998-2001) in antibody structure were with Allen B. Edmundson at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, USA. From 2001 – 2015, he worked in independent medical research institutes in Melbourne, Australia. After being awarded a 2015 Vice Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellowship from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, he relocated there in 2016. At RMIT University, the group continues to pursue collaborative projects in antibody-carbohydrate interactions, with a new focus on recognition at cell surfaces, interfaces and in biomaterials.
