Dr. Thomas Soerianto is a research fellow in the Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology at the University of Melbourne’s Bio21 Institute, where he is developing workflows for collection of robust multi-omic datasets that will be used for the synthesis and validation of mathematical cell models.

Dr. Soerianto completed his PhD in Biochemistry in the University of Melbourne investigating the dark metabolome of the human parasite Leishmania using high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with stable isotope labeling and computational mass spectrometry approaches. This was followed by a short postdoctoral appointment at the University of Melbourne with Dr. Wing Yan Chan where he developed high throughput metabolomic approaches for the analysis of coral and algae endosymbionts. Currently, he works with Professor Malcolm McConville to establish quantitative multi-omic data collection workflows. His collaborations have extended throughout the University of Melbourne and other institutions, including WEHI and La Trobe University. His expertise lies in liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, computational mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics; and he is interested in applying mass spectrometry in a systems biology context.
