Josephine Bunch

Professor Josephine Bunch is an NPL Fellow and Co-Director of NiCE MSI at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and holds the Chair of Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry at Imperial College London. JB is currently delivering a Cancer Research UK Grand Challenge Award programme delivering a multiscale and multimodal imaging pipeline for studying tumour metabolism. Josephine is an active member of several international standards committees.

Before joining in NPL she led a research group in mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) at the University of Birmingham where she was a Lecturer in Chemistry and Imaging in the School of Chemistry and PSIBS Doctoral Training Centre (2009-2013).

Josephine has has published ~100 articles on mass spectrometry imaging of lipids, drugs, proteins, peptides and metabolites using a range of dedicated MS techniques. Her research group at NPL comprises a multidisciplinary team of physicists, chemists, computer scientists and biomedical scientists. Current research interests of the group include metabolic imaging, mass spectrometry instrument and method development, fundamentals of ion formation and desorption ionisation development of data processing methods for mass spectrometry imaging.
