Kate Scull

Kate Scull is a Research Fellow at Monash University, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and the Immunoproteomics Laboratory within the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. She works under the supervision of Professor Anthony Purcell and is based at Monash Health. Her research integrates computational biology and immunology to study the immunopeptidome.

Education:

• PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Melbourne (2018)
• Bachelor of Arts, University of Melbourne (2009)
• Bachelor of Science (Honours), University of Melbourne (2009)

Her research focuses on immunopeptidomics, bioinformatics, and proteomic data analysis, particularly in the context of HLA-mediated antigen presentation. She develops computational tools in C and Java to analyze mass spectrometry datasets, addressing the limitations of conventional proteomics in immunological contexts. Her work contributes to understanding immune responses in infection, cancer, and autoimmunity.

Recent publications highlight her contributions to SARS-CoV-2 immunopeptidome mapping, transplantation immunology, and the development of computational pipelines like Immunolyser and immunopeptidogenomics workflows. These studies leverage RNA-Seq and synthetic peptide resources to uncover novel epitopes.
