After more than 20 years of research, I still feel a sense of wonder at the workings of the tiny things that make up the cells of our bodies. My research aims to make better medicines that are more effective and have fewer side effects.

Since graduating from The University of Western Australia (UWA), I have worked at the UWA Centre for Medical Research and Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research studying G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). I am a co-inventor of assay technology and have worked on academic and commercial projects.

I use my experience working at the academic-industry interface in my dual role managing research projects in the Laboratory for Molecular Endocrinology and Pharmacology, and supporting training programs for healthcare innovation at Perth Biodesign.
