Professor Paul Witting
School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health
Dr Paul Witting is a Professor, Redox Biology in the Discipline of Pathology at The University of Sydney and a career biomedical researcher. The Redox Biology lab is situated in the Charles Perkins Centre (level 4, west) and provides an excellent environment for young researchers to be trained in biomedical techniques and explore the relationships between oxidative stress and disease. Witting has held ARC (2003-2007) and National Heart Foundation Fellowships (1999-2001) that financed post-doctoral terms at the ANZAC Research Institute and University of British Columbia (Canada), respectively. He has a proven track record in the field of bio-medical chemistry publishing 129 peer-reviewed papers; 8 book chapters; 16 review articles, an invited focus editorial and an International Patent. Publications by Witting and his co-workers have been acknowledged with 5847 citations (less self-citations); H-index 45. He has been awarded ~A$13.7 Million in competitive funding from agencies including the ARC (Fellowship, DP & LIEF), NHMRC (Fellowship (declined) & Project), NHF (Fellowship & GIA), Wellcome Trust and NHMRC Equipment Grants, The Ramaciotti, Mason, Philip Bushell, Rebecca Cooper and CASS Foundations, Diabetes Australia Research Trust, USyd Development/Bridging/FMH Strategic/Education Innovation Schemes, Bosch Institute Translational GIA& Equipment Grantsand industry funding - Eli Lilly (Aus), Nanosonics (Aus), Servier International (France), Fisher and Paykel (New Zealand), AUS Gov Innovation Connect and NSW Industry and community seed fund schemes.
Dr Witting's research interest is in exploring the relationship between oxidative stress and the evolution of tissue damage in the acute setting of stroke, myocardial infarct and vascualr damage. He is also collaborating with clinicians in the Concord Hospital Burns Unit as he examines the relationship between severe burn, muscle myolysis and acute renal failure.
Teaching Portfolio includes USydMP (Block 8 and 9); Bachelor of Medical Science (2nd year), Cell Pathology (3rd Year UoS co-ordinator; CPAT3202/3201/3901/3902) and in the Surgical Pathology component of a Masters in Surgery.
We have projects avaialble that focus on micronytirents in health (selenium) and the development of innovative therapeutics that target inflammatory disorders fo the bowel and heart.
Immediate past President for the Society for Free Radical Research (Australasia)
Professor Witting was awarded prestigious nationally competitive Heart Foundation Travel (NHF) (1999-2001) and ARC (ARF; 2003-2007) Fellowships that funded positions at the University of British Columbia (Canada) and ANZAC Research Institute (Sydney, Australia), respectively. He has also been awarded the Professor john Young Medal (2014) for his contributions to teaching, researcgh and administration within the Faculty of Medicine.
