 Biography

Mr Andrew Dalley is a Research Officer for the Burns Trauma and Critical Care Research Centre.

Andrew is a practical research scientist with post-doctoral experience of cell biology and analytical techniques in both commercial and academic research settings. His role within the BTCCRC and TRU is to perform microdialysis, sample analysis and pharmacokinetic modeling of antibiotic distribution in extensively burned patients as part of an ongoing NHMRC funded investigation. In addition, Andrew provides laboratory and logistical support to a variety of clinical and in vitro studies both within the BTCCRC at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and the Therapeutics Research Unit at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Formerly based in the UK, Andrew studied BSc Pharmacology and completed his PhD at The University of Sheffield. Subsequently, he has used in-vitro techniques to monitor the uptake of drugs across the gut mucosa and skin. Research interests include drug distribution in critical patients, pathophysiology of burn wound healing, extracellular matrix biology and its application to tissue engineering, and epithelial / mesenchymal interaction across the basement membrane during the healing of cutaneous wounds.
