In October 2015, he was seconded to the Directorship of the University of Queensland Diamantina Institute. In 2017, he returned to his substantive position in the School of Biomedical Sciences, where he is Head of the Receptor Biology Laboratory with a specific focus on the molecular and cellular physiology of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) – his group has a strong international reputation for studying the processes that activate and deactivate these receptors in health and disease.
