Anne Claire Conibear

Anne Claire Conibear is an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) in Protein Chemistry at the Faculty of Technical Chemistry, TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), Austria. She also holds an Honorary Research Fellow position at the School of Biomedical Sciences, The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on using protein and peptide chemistry tools to create site-specifically modified proteins to study post-translational modifications in biological processes.

Dr. Conibear's research interests include:

• Protein and peptide chemistry
• Chemical biology
• Post-translational modifications
• Protein synthesis and semi-synthesis
• Structural biology
• NMR spectroscopy

Her current research projects focus on understanding how posttranslational modifications of HMGN1 regulate DNA packaging and how phosphorylation regulates β-catenin in oncogenic signaling. She develops chemical tools to create specifically modified proteins that allow precise investigation of how these modifications affect protein structure and function.

Dr. Conibear has received several prestigious awards including the Boulder Peptide Foundation Danho Young Investigator Award (2025) and multiple Career Track Awards from the University of Queensland.

She supervises multiple PhD students and has successfully mentored several graduate students through their theses. Her teaching includes courses on biomolecule synthesis, bachelor seminars, and foundational chemistry laboratories at TU Wien.
