Biography
Dr Rudd specialises in mass spectrometry imaging, with specific expertise in drug mapping, spatial metabolomics and nanomaterial enabled imaging techniques.
Part-time, Dr Rudd is the MALDI-MS technical specialist at the HMSTrust Analytical Laboratory, Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences - assisting in experimental design, analysis and data interpretation to both academia and commercial/pharmaceutical clients (by collaboration and fee-for-service).
Dr Rudd is also a research fellow residing at the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication, where he uses novel nano-fabrication strategies to design rapid and confirmatory analytical tests for drug detection, biomarker analysis, biochemical profiling and contaminant detection. The main drive of his research program is to enable high through-put and cost effective analytical platforms that can transform drug testing processes.
