About
I am a research scientist at the Bionics Institute.
My specific research interests revolve around the potential of neurotrophic factors to promote survival and repair in neurodegenerative conditions, in particular in the deaf auditory system.
I completed my B. Sci. (Honours) degree in 1997 at Monash University for a project investigating neurotrophic support of denervated spinal cord, and received my PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2004 for research investigating the potential of neurotrophic factors to protect the inner ear from the degenerative changes that occur in deafness.
My current research uses gene- and cell-therapy techniques to deliver neurotrophins to the deaf coc...
