His research focused on mass spectrometry as it applied to the chemistry of negative ions in the gas phase and the structure-activity relationships of bio-active peptides in the skin glands of anurans. He has published over 500 scientific papers. The Bowie Medal has been awarded every second year since 2009 by the Australian and New Zealand Society for Mass Spectrometry to recognise excellence in research in any area of mass spectrometry by a young Australian or New Zealand researcher.
