My current research encompasses treatment strategies and biomarker discovery for Motor Neuron Disease (also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). We are world leaders in urinary biomarker discovery, validation and translation.

I also lead the translational Ian Davis Flinders University Biomarker facility, where we have robotically scaled-up urinary biomarker p75ECD testing for MND/ ALS clinical trials and research.

After completing a PhD at Adelaide University in December 2003, I undertook postdoctoral studies in the Neurotrophic Laboratory at Flinders University. I now lead the research undertaken in the Neurotrophic Laboratory.
