Dr Carney Matheson applies analytical techniques to the study of biomolecules from the past. His research focuses on the recovery of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, alkaloids, lectins and other compounds to address research questions in forensic science, medical science and archaeology. He also studies the processes of biomolecular degradation of these molecules limiting our ability to recover and analyse these ancient biomolecules. His research includes; method development for recovery of macromolecules from biological material.
