Biography

I first became interested in neuroscience when completing an Honours degree in Physiology at the Medical School, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. I went on to complete a PhD in physiology of the sensory cortex. I then spent two years at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, USA as a postdoctoral fellow of the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America, before returning to the UK, where I was senior research associate in the department of Neurology at Newcastle University for 3 years. I moved to Australia to work with the late professor Richard Mark in Behavioural Biology at ANU, then moved to the department of Anatomical Sciences at the University of Queensland, where I remained a member of the NHMRC funded Cerebral and Sensory Functions Unit until 1995, when I moved to UNE's former department of Physiology.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
