Research Interests

After graduation Tony spent several years in mixed dairy practice, and later in a leading Animal Emergency Centre in Sydney and as a locum in mixed practice in England. Tony then completed a PhD on gene transfer to the immune system as a collaborative project between the Faculty of Veterinary Science and the Institute for Immunology and Allergy Research at Westmead Hospital. He moved to the Prince of Wales Hospital, Department of Cardiovascular Genetics in 2001 to study the role of antioxidants in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and then to the Oncology Research Unit at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead to work on the role of human D52 protein in a transgenic mouse model of breast cancer.

Tony’s research interests in immunology, immunotherapy, molecular biology and the pathogenesis of disease are diverse and include mouse models of central immune tolerance, gene function in vascular disease and mouse models of carcinogenesis. Tony joined the Farm Animal Health Group in 2004 to study the immune response of sheep to Haemonchus.
