D. Beale

Adjunct A/Professor Beale is a senior research scientist in the Industrial Environments (IE) research program in Land & Water and an accredited postgraduate supervisor at RMIT University and Swinburne University of Technology, where he delivers research outcomes and creates impact in the area of environmental applications of functional omics (i.e., proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics) coupled with traditional contaminant analysis. David is a project leader who develops high-throughput tools for detecting, quantifying and tracking contaminants in the environment and assessing their biological impact using omics-based tools and techniques. Such an approach has enabled David to identify and quantify anthropogenic impacts and characterise biological systems and natural ecosystems in terms of their robustness and resilience. David has been able to transfer these tools and approaches to industrial and clinical applications outside his field of expertise, growing his reputation as a science leader with an emerging national and international profile in metabolomics and omics-based research. He is impact-focused, concentrating effort on areas where there is a high likelihood of technology uptake by external stakeholders.
