Greg Stuart has made seminal contributions to understanding how information is processed by individual nerve cells in the brain. He has developed and implemented techniques for making electrical recordings from the fine processes of nerve cells called dendrites. These techniques, which are used throughout the world, have led to important discoveries describing the initiation and spread of nerve impulses in different nerve cell types. He is considered a world expert on the physiology of dendrites and co-edited the first book devoted exclusively to this subject. He completed a BSc (Hons Physiology) at Monash, then a PhD in Neuroscience at the Australian National University (ANU). He then spent five years working at the Max Planck Institute of Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany, in the department of Nobel Laureate Bert Sakmann. After his time in Germany he returned to the ANU to establish his own research program. While at the ANU he was head of the neuroscience department within the John Curtin School of Medical Research from 2005 to 2012, and head of the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience from 2012 to 2021. He was appointed a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2012 in recognition of his seminal contributions to understanding how information is processed by individual nerve cells within the brain. He moved to the Department of Physiology at Monash University in late April 2022.
