Richard Burchmore is a Senior Lecturer in Parasitology and Head of Proteomics at the University of Glasgow (Glasgow, UK). He obtained his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of London. Richard was an early adopter of mass spectrometry for proteomics and metabolomics and, over 20 years, has been instrumental in establishing both these research areas at the University of Glasgow. His research group was among the first to apply proteomic approaches to Leishmania and to other parasites and, with colleagues in Glasgow, pioneered the use of Orbitrap mass spectrometry for untargeted metabolomic analyses. His research has focused on parasite nutrient transporters, drug resistance and biomarker discovery. Richard has active collaborations with Leishmaniasis in Colombia, Brazil, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and Iran. He has published more than 150 papers, including more than 40 on Leishmania parasites.
