Biography
Andrew is an Adjunct Professor with the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute at Monash University and is Head of Research and Development at Magic Valley. Magic Valley is an early-stage biotechnology company developing meat products from animal stem cells without harming animals. Andrew is internationally recognised for his research and commercialisation activities using pluripotent stem cells. Prior to joining Magic Valley, Andrew was a Research Team and Project Leader with the CSIRO, where he led a pluripotent stem cell biology research team. Other previous appointments include Senior Scientist and Group Leader at the Australian Stem Cell Centre (ASCC), Board member and Director of the Australian Society for Medical Research and Senior Research Fellow at the Monash Institute of Medical Research, Monash University. He obtained his BSc (Hons) and PhD from Monash University prior to undertaking postdoctoral positions in Hong Kong, China and Philadelphia, USA.
