Dr Joshua Hamey is a molecular biologist who studies proteins and how they are made inside cells. He uses mass spectrometry-based proteomics and classic molecular biology techniques to answer foundational questions about proteins and their regulation by post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation and methylation. He is particularly interested in understanding how protein synthesis is controlled inside cells, and how its dysregulation leads to faulty protein production.

Dr Hamey is currently a Senior Post-doctoral researcher at the University of New South Wales, working with Professor Marc Wilkins. He previously completed his PhD with Professor Wilkins in 2018.
