Dr Antoni Borysik

Antoni Borysik is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry, King's College London. He has more than 20 years experience developing applications for biomolecular characterisation using mass spectrometry. He joined King’s in 2014 from the University of Oxford where he was a industrial fellow with Waters Corporation developing methods to probe the solvent-free behavior of membrane proteins and disordered proteins using travelling wave ion mobility and molecular dynamics simulations. He obtained his PhD at the University of Leeds where he pioneered methods to characterise the folding of amyloidogenic proteins with mass spectrometry. 

Research Interests

• Mass spectrometry
• Hydrogen deuterium exchange
• Protein modelling
• Intrinsic disorder

Current research is centered on the development of applications for biomolecular characterisation using hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS). These include the first web-based application for high-resolution HDX-MS and the development of methods to solve protein structure using HDX-MS using both classical and AI based approaches.
