Achievements

With over 40 years of research experience, I was trained in chemistry and biochemistry before focusing on genetic and molecular toxicology and getting a PhD in Biomedical Science from the University of Tennessee and postdoctoral training in molecular pathology at the University of Washington, Seattle. I then worked for 12 years at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, New York University School of Medicine in NY, USA, where I studied the mechanisms of metal-induced carcinogenesis. In 1999 I moved to Australia to work in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at Deakin University and in 2007 I moved to take up a research active position at UTas within the School of Human Life Sciences. As an Associate Professor and Deputy Head of School, I am teaching into molecular biology, biochemistry and environmental health and continuing with my research on arsenic toxicology, environmental health and molecular carcinogenesis.
