Biographical Details
Dr Wilkinson obtained his PhD from Griffith University in 2007 under the supervision of Dr Todd Houston and Prof. Sally-Ann Poulsen. His PhD thesis led to the discovery of a new class of carbohydrate-based carbonic anhydrase inhibitor as promising anti-cancer drug leads. Later that year, Dr Wilkinson took up a post-doctoral appointment working with Prof. Antony Fairbanks at the University of Oxford on the development of novel anti-tuberculosis agents and glycosylation strategies.
In 2009, Dr Wilkinson returned to Australia to join Prof. Richard Payne’s group at The University of Sydney, where he worked on the development of new strategies for the synthesis of Mucin-type glycoproteins, the total synthesis of homogeneous antifreeze glycoproteins, and the discovery of glycopeptide-based cancer vaccines.
In 2013, Dr Wilkinson was awarded the prestigious ARC DECRA fellowship which he undertook at Monash University. Whilst at Monash, his research was focused on supramolecular chemistry and biomimetic self-assembly.
In 2016, Dr Wilkinson was appointed as a lecturer in Chemistry at UNE, and as senior lecturer in 2019.
