Richard Simpson
Richard Simpson is a professor at the Department of Biochemistry at La Trobe University (Melbourne, Australia).
Richard Simpson is considered to be the key pioneer in the
development of isolation procedures and proteomics based
characterization of exosomes. His main focus is the functional investigation of exosomes derived from colon cancer and
their influence in cellular communication.
He is the inaugural and current president of the Australasian
Proteomics Society and a past treasurer of the Human Proteome Organization. Richard Simpson was elected Honorary
Member of the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 1996, awarded the AMRAD Pharmacia
Medal from the Australian Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and was an elected councilor of the Protein
Society (1993-1996).
