Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Australian Venom Research Unit, University of Melbourne
I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow with the Australian Research Unit (Department of Therapeutics and Pharmacology) at the University of Melbourne.
My research focusses on the mutually enlightening relationship between evolutionary and clinical toxinology - understanding the evolution of venomous organisms and the toxins that comprise their venoms generates valuable insight for the treatment of human bite/sting victims. In addition, I use "exochemical systems", primarily venom systems, as model systems for the study of the generation of novelty via evolutionary processes.
