Brian Morris was appointed to the academic staff of the Department of Physiology in 1978 after 3 years of postdoctoral studies in the USA as a CJ Martin Fellow, then an Advanced Fellow of the American Heart Association, firstly at the University of Missouri, Columbia, in 1975-1976, then at the University of California, San Francisco, from 1976-1978. He has been a Professor since 1999. In Sep 2013 the University of Sydney Senate appointed him as Professor Emeritus.

Research interests

Brian Morris is involved in research in several different fields. His long-term interest has been the molecular genetics of hypertension. Most recenty this has focussed on genome-wide alterations in gene and microRNA expression in human essential hypertension and rodent models of hypertension. With Eugenie Lumbers and colleagues at University of Newcastle research focused on the expression of various components of the (pro)renin-angiotensin system and other genes in fetal and maternal tissues to determine whether these have a role in premature labour. A major current research involvement is the molecular genetics of longevity as an Honorary Consultant and Volunteer Faculty with the University of Hawaii's Department of Geriatric Medicine at Kuakini Medical Center in Honoulu. This followed a 2 month Special Studies Program there in 2012-13 and has led to multiple publications, including several as first author and author for correspondence. Brian has considerable interest and numerous publications on the molecular mechanisms of ageing, longevity and the influences of dietary factors on health. His Lab's other research has included the molecular biology of factors involved in alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs, a process that results in the generation of multiple proteins from most of the genes in the genome. Brian was the first in the world to patent the use of PCR for cervical screening (priority date Feb 1987). This test was devised to detect the cancer-causing types of human papillomavirus. In a paradigm shift in screening of women, his HPV testing strategy replace pap smears for primary screening on 1 Dec 2017, as is also happening in other countries worldwide. His cervical cancer research led him to understand that women with circumcised male partners are at lower risk of this devastating cancer. As a result, he became interested in the health and medical benefits of male circumcision (www.circinfo.net and www.circumcisionaustralia.org), a field in which he has developed a strong international reputation, with 100 of his over 400 academic publications being on this topic.
