Biography

James A. Broadbent leads the Applied Proteomics Team within CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food Business Unit. The team focus on protein quality and safety measurement and its application to food safety and production, investigating livestock production and processing challenges; sources of non-traditional dietary gluten; proteome-informed grain breeding; and, allergen detection and quantification in emerging foods. Within this scope, James’ specific focus is on grain trait prediction using machine learning and proteome measurements from genetic diversity panels. Prior to joining CSIRO in 2018, James was Senior Field Applications Chemist for the premium mass spectrometer vendor SCIEX (2016-2018) where he worked across food, forensics, pathology, research, and environment applications in Australia, New Zealand and abroad. He joined SCIEX with four years of post-doc and project leader experience (2012-2015) within the Wound Management Innovation CRC, following award of his PhD in 2011 from Queensland University of Technology.
