I am a molecular pharmacologist who works at the University of Adelaide, Australia. I have a broad interest in the understanding of how surface receptors can modulate neuronal function and survival, as well as interests in natural product pharmacology and toxicology as well as drug design. I am also interested in evolutionary biology, science communication (member of SA Science Communicators). I am also an avid amateur astronomer. My astronomy blog is astroblog. I did postdoctoral work in the Institute of Pharmacology at the Free University of Berlin in 1991-1994, returning to Australia in 1994. I have collaborated with Professor John Carver, Dr. Scot Smid, and Professor Colin Barrow on using natural products to attack the neurodegeneration process in Alzheimer’s Disease. I am currently the education officer of the Toxicology Special Interest Group of the Australasian Society for Pharmacology and Toxicology. I am also collaborating with Professor Roger Byard on the forensic implications of herbal medicines. I have held NH&MRC funding and ARC funding.

The main thrust of my research has been the role of signal transduction in neuronal function. In recent years this has extended into the area of neuroprotection and neurotoxicity. This has been followed on three fronts; the role of amyloid peptides in neurotoxicity, and how this may be combated with natural products. This work is undertaken with Professor John Carver and Dr. Scott Smid. We have found potent products that can prevent and disrupt amyloid formation. This has profound implications not only for the therapy of Alzhemiers' disease but for a wide range of diseases that involve protein misfolding, from systemic amyloidosis to HIV infection. As a further logical development of the natural product theme, my work has branched out into neurotoxicology with work with Professor Roger Byard and Professor Michael Bunce (Curtin University WA) looking at the toxicity of herbal medicines. (NHMRC Grant APP1061329) As a result of this work we have collaborated with the TGA and the South Australian Health Department have been able to advise them of potentially dangerous herbal medicines.

Project 1.

Title: Exploring the herbal phytochemical Bakuchiol's Toxicity

Project outline: Psoralea corylifolia, or Bu Gu Zhi in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is associated with hepatotoxicity. Psoralea corylifolia contains a number of phytochemicals: Psoralen, isopsoralen and Bakuchiol been associated with hepatotoxicity (but see DOI: 10.4268/cjcmm20151129). Preliminary experiments from our lab have shown that Bakuchiol to be more toxic than Psoralen to the hepatocyte model cell line HepG2. Given its use in cosmetics, the effect of Bakuchiol on toxicity in an epithelial cell line will be tested as well. Cell viability will be determined via MTT and epithelial barrier integrity will be determined via TEER. As well as pure Bakuchiol, commercial preparations of Bakuchiol  will be tested for toxicity, as the supporting ingredients may alter Bakuchiol toxicity.

Project available for Honours and potentially HDR.

Location: North Terrace campus, Helen Mayo South

 

Project 2.

Title: The evolving usage of Herbal medicines in Australia post COVID

Project outline: During the COVID-19 pandemic, herbal medicines were promoted as therapies. However, we do not know the pattern of usage of herbal medicines during or after the pandemic. The last survey of Herbal use in Australia dates back to 2008 (pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety 2008; 17: 1006–1013DOI: 10.1002/pds.1610). Furthermore, we do not know if the patterns of use of herbal medicine had an impact on adverse drug reactions. To address this this project will have two parts.

a) Developing and Administering a population-based survey on herbal medicine use during the years 2020-2022 (requires human ethics approval).

b) Searching the TGA Adverse drug reactions database to look at ADR reporting of these common herbal medicines pre-pandemic and during the pandemic. And determine if there is an increase in ADR’s during this pandemic period.

Project available for Honours and potentially HDR.
