Garry Lynch

Dr Garry Lynch is a Senior Research Fellow at the Sydney School of Public Health, part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. His research focuses on protein structures at cell-virus interfaces, with significant contributions to HIV, influenza, Ebola, and Neisseria meningitidis studies. Lynch has supervised over 30 students and laboratory personnel and serves as a grants and manuscripts reviewer.

• Research Areas: Protein interactions in infection and immunity, universal vaccine development, membrane biochemistry, and proteomic analysis of viral surfaces.
• Collaborations: Works with institutions including University of Wollongong, UTS, and University of NSW.

His research on HIV receptor interactions and influenza herd immunity has reshaped scientific understanding. Recent studies extend to Hendra/Nipah and Ebola viruses, aiming to identify broadly protective antibodies. Key methodologies include structural modeling and proteomic profiling.

Scientific impact is evidenced by >1,300 citations and an H-index of 19. Lynch has contributed to vaccine development and published extensively in journals like Biophysical Journal and Immunology and Cell Biology.

He has received grants including the Howard K Grant (2024) for evaluating high-cost therapies and a Clive & Vera Ramaciotti Foundation Grant (1998) for CXCR-4 protein studies. Lynch also holds leadership roles in the Haemophilia Foundation of NSW (Vice President & Treasurer 2014-2016).
