Since 1996, my research interest is in Neurobiology focused on the annotation, characterisation and pre-clinical development of Neural Regeneration Peptides (NRP’s). In future, these molecules will make a huge impact on all neural repair strategies involving treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases and injuries.

My research and R&D biotech career stations here in NZ involved Plant & Food Research, Neuren Pharmaceuticals (Head of Discovery), the Liggins Institute (Head of Neuroscience) and now managing director of CuroNZ Ltd.
