Rate My Professor Wayne Schroder

Dr Wayne Schroder is a Lecturer in the ESC-Biomedical group of the School of Environment and Science within Griffith Sciences at Griffith University. He is based at the Nathan Campus in room N34 2.28 and can be contacted by telephone at +61 (0)7 3735 7383. Dr Schroder convenes and teaches the Molecular Biology course (2012NSC), delivering lectures and practical workshops, including the first such workshop at the Gold Coast campus for the BSc Biochemistry program. His teaching covers topics such as control of prokaryotic gene expression, including the trp operon. He supervises honours students on biomedical science projects, including 'From Patients to Models and Back: Unraveling the Role of Metabolism in Pancreatic Cancer' and 'Targeting stress and metabolic pathways in pancreatic cancer'.

Dr Schroder's academic career includes prior affiliations with the School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science at Griffith University and the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute), where he contributed to research in molecular biology, including Epstein-Barr virus studies. He has been a Chief Investigator B on NHMRC Project Grants commencing in 2013, alongside researchers such as Professor Christian Engwerda and Associate Professor Robert Andrews. Key publications include 'The Escherichia coli orthologue of the Salmonella ushB gene is uspB' (FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001, with Michelle Burger and Ifor R. Beacham), 'Alternative polyadenylation and splicing of mRNAs transcribed from the human Sin1 gene' (Gene, 2004, with Nicole Cloonan, Gillian Bushell, and Tom Sculley), and a recent contribution to 'Cheminformatics-Guided Exploration of Synthetic Marine Natural Product-Inspired Brominated Indole-3-Glyoxylamides and Their Potentials for Drug Discovery' (Molecules, 2024). Dr Schroder maintains a verified Google Scholar profile affiliated with Griffith University and has an extensive publication record documented on platforms such as ResearchGate, with 77 works and over 3,000 citations, reflecting his impact in molecular biology, microbiology, and biomedical research areas including cancer metabolism and drug discovery.
