Additional Information

Dr Gundlach has been a NHMRC Research Fellow since 1992 and has been at the Howard Florey Institute since 2000, after heading a laboratory in the Department of Medicine at the Austin & Repatriation Centre from 1989-1999. He undertook postdoctoral training at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Sydney (1983-1988), and has also been a visiting scientist in Cambridge (1989, 1996) and Paris (2000). He has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and since 1992 has supervised more than 10 PhD graduates.
