My main interest currently is the role of labile zinc in cardiovascular physiology and disease. I co-discovered labile zinc and its role in cell signalling in the 1990s. The zinc fluorophore our group developed in 1990s is used around the world by researchers. I have more than 90 publications on zinc. I have been involved on a wide range of committees at the University of Adelaide and Basil Hetzel Institute for Translational Health Research. I have extensive experience as a post graduate coordinator in Medicine and am currently an Honours Coordinator for Medicine in the Adelaide Medical School.
