    I love applying what I learn, to understand the world around us and to make it safer, happier and more inclusive. My studies began in Australia (Pharmacy College) and have taken me to England for 4 years (Oxford) and the USA for 2 years (Rockefeller U). I ran a highly successful research team at the University of Queensland for more than 20 years. Then I was recruited to Griffith University as Director of the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery. In 2019, I was appointed DVC (R&I) at University of Wollongong. There I championed a performance/people/planet triple bottom line with three priorities: equity, diversity and inclusion; early and mid-career researchers; and the UN sustainable development goals. I took a year off in mid 2022 to climb some personal mountains. Now I'm as busy as ever contributing to scientific/research committees and boards that have supported my research over the decades, while researching and writing up family history.
