• Associate Professor

  • Mar 2017 - Jul 2022

  Perth, Australia As an Associate Professor and Group Leader at the Curtin Neuroscience Laboratories, situated within the Sarich Neuroscience Research Institute, I worked with multidisciplinary teams to develop novel research diagnostic tools that (i) rapidly detect genetic causes of brain disorders in children; as well as (ii) determined how gene variation can cause disease or contribute to unique traits in an individual.

• Associate Professor

  • Aug 2014 - Mar 2017

  Perth, Australia As Associate Professor (UWA) and Group Leader within the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, I won competitive funding to collaborate with researchers interstate and all over the world to discover novel genetic causes of brain disorder. Our findings have improved the precision in detecting causative genetic lesions for such neurological conditions in children.

• Senior Research Fellow and Group Leader

  • Jun 2010 - Aug 2014

  Melbourne, Australia As a Group Leader within the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, I won competitive funding to study molecular on-off switches that controlled how brain cells assembled into neural circuits within the fetal brain. We found that genetic mutations that affected these molecular switches could cause in-born brain disorders in children and lifelong mental impairment.

• C J Martin (Returning) Postdoctoral Research Fellow

  • Oct 2008 - Apr 2010

  Melbourne, Australia Returning to Australia, I won competitive funding to build a small team to work on how genes affected the shape-shifting behaviours of brain cells as they form connections with other cells during fetal development. We identified "shape-shifting" genes that influenced these nerve cell behaviours and recognized that mutations to such genes caused brain disorders in children.



The National Institute for Medical Research, Mill Hill (UK)

• MRC Career Development Fellow

  • May 2006 - Apr 2008

  London, United Kingdom Working at Mill Hill (now the Francis Crick Institute), I was delighted to have the opportunity to extend my postdoctoral training to define the gene regulatory basis for nerve cell production and maturation during mammalian brain development. This extension was crucial for me to lead a multinational research study that was published in the journal, Nature (Heng et al, 2008).

• C J Martin (Overseas) Research Fellow

  • Apr 2004 - Apr 2006

  London, United Kingdom I was honoured to receive a competitive C J Martin training fellowship (NH&MRC, Australia) to study gene expression mechanisms for nerve cell production and maturation during mammalian brain development. This postdoctoral work was undertaken at the NIMR (now the Francis Crick Institute), supervised by Dr Francois Guillemot.

• Postdoctoral Research Fellow

  • Mar 2002 - Mar 2003

  Melbourne, Australia As a research fellow within the Brain Development Laboratory under the leadership of Professor Seong-Seng Tan, I investigated the molecular signalling mechanisms through which nerve cells in the fetal brain patterned to form functional units within the nascent neural circuitry.

• Research Assistant

  • May 1997 - Dec 1997

  Perth, Australia Under the supervision of Professor George Yeoh of the Liver Carcinogenesis laboratory (UWA), I conducted preclinical research on the impact of diet on the development of liver cancer. This work provided evidence that a local immune response within diseased liver was significant prior to onset of diet-induced cancer.



Department of Agriculture and Food WA - DAFWA

• Laboratory Technician, Wine Chemistry

  • Jan 1997 - May 1997

  Perth, Australia Supervised by Bob Frayne, I was responsible for measuring wine samples for alcohol, tannins and sugar content across various stages of production. I was also involved in a study investigating the impact of nitrogen in the soil and the compositional traits of a standard red grape variety.
