Dr Samuel Robinson is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland. He is the 2020 Australian Pain Society Rising Star Award Winner.
His research expertise is in the discovery of new plant and animal toxins and investigation of their structure, function and potential for biomedical applications. Sam is an expert on plants and animals that sting, and the biology, chemistry, pharmacology and pathophysiology underlying those stings.
His research is providing new understanding on the mechanisms of chemical defence and predation used by animals and plants. The new toxins he has discovered are being used as tools for improving our understanding of the human body and designing new and better treatments for certain diseases.
