Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I am the Dean of Graduate Studies, with responsibility for overseeing the University's research degree programs and supporting the training of our research degree candidates. I am also Professor in Pulmonary Biology in UniSA: Clinical & Health Sciences.
After completing my initial schooling in Biochemistry at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, I moved to Adelaide in 1990 and completed my PhD (1994) in Evolutionary Respiratory Physiology at Flinders University. Following a move to the University of Adelaide, I held consecutive ARC Postdoctoral and mid-career Research Fellowships first in Physiology and then in Environmental Biology. Thereafter in 2007 I took on an academic position at the University of South Australia, where I headed the Molecular & Evolutionary Physiology of the Lung Laboratory and was also the inaugural Program Director for the Bachelor of Medical Science, which I developed together with a joint degree with the Australian National University.
Throughout my research career I have taken a broad multidisciplinary approach including evolutionary, physiological, developmental and biomedical disciplinary tools to understand the evolution, development, function and regulation of pulmonary surfactant in health and disease across a range of animal models. My current research interests include understanding the role of surfactant and lung dysfunction in a group of devastating metabolic genetic diseases known as lysosomal storage disorders, as well as understanding the disease mechanisms in the initiation and development of lung cancer.

Pulmonary Surfactant

Surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins produced by alveolar epithelial cells and secreted into the fluid lining of the lung, where it forms a film at the air-liquid interface. The surfactant film dynamically regulates interfacial surface tension with lung volume to prevent alveolar collapse and reduce the work of breathing. As this critical system develops late during gestation, prematurely-born babies are at risk of developing respiratory distress, a condition often successfully treated with a combination of positive pressure ventilation and/or artificial surfactants. Within the area of pulmonary surfactant, we are interested in environmental and genetic effects on the development of the system as well as on the effect of temperature on the biophysical function of the system.

Environmental effects on lung and surfactant development

We are interested in the development of the surfactant system prior to birth/hatching in a variety of animal models, demonstrating different birthing strategies. We are particularly interested in the differences in the timing of development between species that experience different selection pressures (e.g. hypoxia or variable temperatures). We also examine the interplay between genetics and the environment in shaping the development of the fetus and the outcome for the newborn/hatchling. We are also collaborating with the Early Origins of Adult Health Research Group to determine the effects of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) on surfactant maturation. Infants that are subjected to IUGR are small at birth and are at an increased risk of developing respiratory distress. We wish to establish the mechanisms and timing of surfactant maturation during late gestation in relation to environmental factors that lead to IUGR, using placentally restricted sheep and undernourished or hypoxia-exposed guinea pigs. We are also examining the effect of under- and overnourishment on the regulation of development of the surfactant system.

Lung and surfactant alterations in mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA mice

This project represents a collaboration with the Mechanisms in Cell Biology and Diseases Research Group. We are investigating the mechanisms leading to respiratory disease in mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA). We have recently described the presence of storage material in the lung of MPS IIIA mice and suggest that this may impair the cellular processing of pulmonary surfactant, which may affect the mechanical function of the lung as well as impair innate pulmonary immunity. In addition, we have for the first time observed lipid droplets and abnormal lamellar bodies, as well as altered lung structure with increased collagen deposition in lung parenchyma. We are continuing to investigate surfactant dysfunction in MPSIIIA mice from a biochemical, molecular, subcellular, structural and biophysical perspective.
