 | Biography |  |
Greg studies cellular signalling in disease and the identification of new drug targets. Following his PhD at the University of Sydney, Greg spent two years at the University of Maryland at Baltimore (USA) in the Department of Physiology, developing novel techniques for the assessment of calcium (Ca2+) in sub-cellular organelles. Since his appointment at the University of Queensland, Greg has established a research program with research funding via NHMRC and National Heart Foundation, Queensland Cancer Fund, Society of biomolecular Screening (USA) and other grants and collaboration with Pharmaceutical companies. His interests are signal transduction in disease, calcium transporters as drug targets and biomolecular screening. In 2006 he recieved a UQ Foundation research excellence award.
