Jun Wheeler
Principal Scientist
Head of Proteomic and Mass Spectrometrym, National Institute for Biological Standard and Control (NIBSC)

 

With my first degree in Chinese Medicine, I was a registered hospital pharmacist in Shanghai, but it was during my postgraduate training in the School of Pharmacy in Sydney, that I developed my strong interest in analytical sciences. During my PhD in Australia, I was one of the pioneers in the research and technology developments underpinning the ‘proteome’ concept which was the start of my development into an international expert in proteomics. After Sydney, I worked in two world leading proteomic groups (at Geneva Hospital and Imperial College London) to further my proteomics expertise and academic understanding and later became a leading scientist in developing a state-of-the-art proteomic platform in one of the top five bioscience companies in the UK.

Since joining NIBSC in 2003, my work has been directed towards the analysis of biological medicines. I have established a proteomics and mass spectrometry facility from ground zero to fulfill the aims and work programmes of the Institute. I use my in-depth knowledge and broad experience in analytical sciences to apply the use of appropriate technologies, to produce scientific advice and results for complex vaccines and biotherapeutics.

My career in academia, industry and institute has given me a deep understanding of biological medicines and the requirements for a multi-disciplinary approach to their characterisation and analysis. My research interests focus on the regulatory sciences of complex vaccine and biotherapeutics including identification, characterisation, quantitation and quality control attributes.

The Organizer

Founded by pioneering scientists with extensive life science backgrounds and multi-cultural experience in research and development, engineering and business, the vision of the Hong Kong Biotechnology Organization is to establish and facilitate a worldwide platform for the Hong Kong biotech industry, promoting awareness, encouraging and enabling international collaboration and providing informed opinion and technical advice to government bodies, healthcare institutions and the general public.

Established and registered under Cap. 151 of the Societies Ordinance (CP/LIC/SO/19/57868), HK20 are dedicated to influencing the Hong Kong society with positive attitude to welcoming the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of HKSAR. We aim to promote participation, to transmit positive energy and to structure a harmonious society through celebrations and events. Our ultimate goal is to constitute the biggest and the most dazzling birthday party by getting every single individual in Hong Kong involved.
