Ian T. Paulsen FAA FRSN FASM is a Distinguished Professor in the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University, Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology and Director of the Australian Genome Foundry.
Paulsen is a former ARC Laureate Fellow and an ISI Highly Cited Researcher[1]. Paulsen is also a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science[2] and the Royal Society of New South Wales[3]. His research expertise includes membrane transport, microbial genomics, metagenomics, systems biology, bioinformatics and synthetic biology[4].
Thomson Reuters identified Paulsen as one of the World's 3000 Most Influential Scientific Minds in 2014[5]. He was also featured in The Australian as one of the top forty research superstars in Australia in 2020[6]. He co-founded the Joint Academic Microbiology Seminars (JAMS) and the national synthetic biology organisation Synthetic Biology Australasia, advocating for microbiology and becoming a mentor for the next generation of synthetic biologists.
Career and Impact
editPaulsen started his research career with a PhD in Microbiology from Monash University in 1994[7] and was an NHMRC C.J. Martin Fellow at the University of California in San Diego[4]. In the early days of his academic career, he studied the biological mechanisms of multiple drug resistance to antibiotics. From 2000-2007, he held a faculty position at the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in Maryland, USA, where he led many microbial genome sequencing projects[4]. Paulsen returned to Australia in 2007 as a Professor at Macquarie University and received a Life Science Research Award from the NSW Office of Science and Medical Research that same year[4]. In 2014 he was awarded an ARC Australian Laureate Fellowship for studying marine bacteria and their importance in the marine food web[8]. In the same year he was awarded the title of Distinguished Professor from Macquarie University in recognition of his work in genomics, systems biology and environmental microbiology[9].
He founded the Synthetic Biology Laboratory at Macquarie University and He then became founding Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology at Macquarie University, funded in 2020[10]. In parallel, Paulsen leads the Australian Genome Foundry, a high-throughput biofoundry.
Paulsen is the co-leader of the Australian node of the Sc2.0 (Yeast 2.0) project[11], which has successfully synthesised all 16 native chromosomes to produce the world’s first synthetic eukaryote, a version of common baker’s yeast - Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Paulsen has published over 350 papers, has over 106,300 citations and has an h-index of 133 (Google Scholar, July 2024)[12].
Media
editPaulsen’s genomic sequencing research was reported in the New York Times[13]. His synthetic biology research has been reported in the Washington Post[14]. His work on the Yeast 2.0 project has been reported in ABC News[15]. He is also featured in articles appearing on Open Access Government[16] and InnovationAus.com[17].
