Claire E. Eyers BSc, PhD

Claire E. Eyers is Professor of Biological Mass Spectrometry in the Institute of Integrative Biology (IIB) at the University of Liverpool (UoL) and co-Director of the Center for Proteome Research (CPR). Having obtained a PhD (2002) in Biochemistry from the University of Dundee (Prof. Sir P. Cohen), she undertook postdoctoral studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder (Prof. N. Ahn) and then in the Michael Barber Center for Mass Spectrometry, University of Manchester (Prof. S. Gaskell), where she became Acting Director (2009“2013).

Her research exploits biophysical and biochemical methodologies to understand the structure and relevance of post-translational modifications (PTMs) and she has established expertise in the development of mass spectrometric (MS)-based methods, and more recently ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), for the investigation of proteins and glycans.
