Edward Moore (Presenter) University of Gothenburg

Presenter Bio: Edward Moore earned a PhD in Biology & Biochemistry (Microbiology) from the University of Houston, USA. He worked as Post-doctoral Researcher and Senior Researcher at the National Research Centre (GBF) in Braunschweig, Germany, and, later, as Senior Research Officer at the Macaulay Research Centre and Aberdeen University in Scotland, studying microbial ecology. In 2004, he changed research directions, moving to establish a research group to work on developments in diagnostics of infectious diseases at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the Department of Infectious Diseases, University of Gothenburg in Sweden. He is Director and Curator of the Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG), one of the largest public collections for clinically-relevant microorganisms in the world. In 2005, he was appointed Professor of Bacteriology at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg.

LC-MS/MS proteomics- and genomics-based characterization and typing of microorganisms, i.e., ‘proteotyping’, using peptides digested from expressed proteins and matched to genomic sequence data, can be applied for sensitive and accurate detection and typing of pathogenic bacteria. Proteotyping is capable of resolving and identifying closely-related bacterial taxa with simultaneous detection of virulence and antibiotic resistance features, providing for comprehensive characterizations of infectious bacteria. The methodology may be applied directly to analyses of clinical samples without prior cultivation and isolation, thus providing for rapid, reliable, infectious disease diagnostics.
