分子生物学博士であり、現在、幹細胞生物学(stem cell biology)分野でMonash UniversityのResearch Fellowとして従事している。博士論文は「オーストラリアにおける豚サーコウイルスの現状調査」。研究者・大学講師(大学・大学院レベル)としての実績もあり、分子ウイルス学(molecular virology)及び炎症・幹細胞生物学(inflammation and stem cell biology)の分野で独自の研究も実施している。現在Monash Universityにて、低分子薬スクリーニングでの利用を目的とし、様々なレポーターシステムを導入した胚性幹細胞株の培養を実施。 技術は他に以下を含む。哺乳類・昆虫細胞培養、胚性幹細胞培養・分化、ウイルス精製、PCR、クローニング、DNAシーケンシング・分析、DNA/RNA操作・分離精製、原核・真核システムにおける組み換えタンパク質の発現・精製、電気泳動法、ELISAの設計・最適化、真核生物タンパク質発現用組み換えウイルスの設計・作成、in situ ハイブリダイゼーション、モノクロナル抗体作製、生細胞カルシウムイメージング。
Dr Raye is a molecular biologist employed by Monash University as a Research Fellow in the fast-changing field of stem cell biology. His doctoral thesis was entitled "An investigation into the status of porcine circovirus in Australia". Dr Raye is an experienced researcher and lecturer, at undergraduate and post-graduate levels. He also conducts independent research in the areas of molecular virology, inflammation and stem cell biology. His current work at Monash University involves creating embryonic stem cell lines with various reporter systems for use in small molecule drug screening assays. Other skills and techniques he possesses include mammalian and insect cell culture; growth and differentiation of embryonic stem cell cultures; purification of viruses; PCR; cloning; DNA sequencing and analysis; DNA/RNA manipulation and isolation; expression and purification of recombinant proteins in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems; electrophoresis; development and optimization of ELISAs; design and construction of recombinant viruses for eukaryotic protein expression; in situ hybridization; monoclonal antibody production; and live cell calcium imaging. Dr Raye began working as an editor with the Edanz Group in early 2009.
