Darren Creek Associate Professor

Associate Professor Darren Creek is leader of the Malaria Metabolomics and Proteomics
group at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and is Director of the Metabolomics Node of the Monash Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility. He completed his PhD at Monash University in 2007, and performed post-doctoral research in Uganda, Scotland and Australia working on malaria drug discovery
and clinical trials, before focusing on metabolism in tropical parasites. He developed several new analytical tools for the metabolomics field, and discovered new metabolic pathways and drug mechanisms in parasites. Darren has over 100 research publications that have been cited over 4000 times, 12 grants and fellowships
worth over $15M, 1 patent for an antimalarial in phase II trials, and has been recognised with awards from the International Metabolomics Society and the National Health and Medical Research Council. Dr. Creek’s
laboratory currently studies mechanisms of drug action and resistance for infectious diseases.
