I have an ongoing appointment at the Burnet Institute, where I am involved in the production of a WHO guidance, as well as the development of a rapid point of care assay for sepsis.
I am Chief Scientific Officer of 360biolabs which is a NATA accredited facility that performs a wide range of validated immunological assays, and conforms with the internationally recognised quality management standard ISO/IEC17025. I also have a strong commitment to the education of outstanding undergraduate and postgraduate students, and teach Immunology to medical, science and biomedical students at Monash University.
