Professor Bruce E. Kemp is the Pehr Edman Fellow heading the Protein Chemistry and Metabolism Unit at St.Vincent's Inst. Medical Research. He has played a key role in developing peptide substrates (Kemptide) and inhibitors for protein kinases. In particular he has made seminal discoveries showing how protein phosphorylation regulates protein function, and how AMP-activated protein kinase regulates metabolic and gene transcriptional responses to exercise and metabolic stress. His research also includes drug design to increase exercise capacity and reduce age onset diseases.
