DrSamuel Nitschke

Dr Samuel (Sam) Nitschke is a Research Associate in the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney. He completed his PhD at the University of South Australia, where he investigated metal-binding coumarin amphiphiles as novel antimicrobial agents. He subsequently worked as a Research Assistant with Professor Stephanie Reuter Lange and Associate Professor Michael Wiese, developing analytical methods for biological and clinical applications. He also contributes to the development of fluorescence-based diagnostic technologies through consultancy work supporting the design and implementation of clinical trials.

Within the New Group, Dr Nitschke contributes to research spanning synthetic chemistry, fluorescence imaging, mass spectrometry, and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM). His research interests lie at the interface of chemistry, biology, and analytical science, using complementary techniques to develop new molecular tools and answer fundamental questions in biological systems.
