Role at ANSTO

Gary develops methods of production for new and known radiotracers using automated modules. He also designs and builds automated systems to replace manual procedures.

Background

Before joining LifeSciences in 2010 Gary worked for ANSTO's Business Development division looking at the commericalisation of several treatment and diagnosis based radio-pharmaceuticals.

Research interests and areas of expertise

Gary’s interests lie in the development and commercialisation of new radio-pharmaceuticals along with new automated systems that can improve consistency while reducing operator dose.

Qualifications & Achievements

PhD in organometallics in 2006 looking at a model for molecular wires under the supervision of Prof Michael Bruce.
BSc (Hons) the University of Adelaide.
