Biography
Professor Pauline M. Rudd BSc,LRIC,MA(Oxon), PhD is the NIBRT Professor of Glycobiology at University College, Dublin. She heads the Dublin-Oxford Glycobiology Laboratory Research Group at the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training. Before moving her group to Dublin in 2006, Professor Rudd was a member of the Glycobiology Institute, Oxford University for 25 years. When she left she was a Senior Research Fellow and a University Reader. The group has developed a platform technology for analysing and monitoring the production of glycosylated therapeutics within the Biopharmaceutical Bioprocessing sector. This technology has also, for the first time, allowed glycomics data to be integrated with genetic information and recently both cancer markers and one which distinguishes different forms of diabetes have been identified.
Professor Rudd obtained a BSc in Chemistry at the University of London and a PhD in Glycobiology at the Open University,UK. She was a Founding Scientist of Wessex Biochemicals (later Sigma London), a company she began with a friend in a kitchen when she was still at school. She has been a Visiting Research Associate at The Scripps Research Institute, CA, Visiting Professor of Biochemistry at Shanghai Medical University PRC, Visiting Scientist at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel and Erskine Visiting Fellow, Canterbury University, Christchurch, New Zealand.
