Biography
Dr Jones conducted his PhD in Sydney, with CSIRO, from 1988 to the end of 1990. Following 2 years international experience at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Institute of Child Health & Human Development) in Washington DC and 2 years at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), in La Jolla, California (USA), Dr Jones subsequently returned to CSIRO, as a Senior Research Scientist/Project Leader. As a research manager Dr Jones participated in 2 CRC's and secured >$4M of industry funds for cross-institutional research programs, supported an AusIndustry Development project and established a laboratory with innovative Postgraduate and Postdoctoral training programs. The commercial nature of Dr Jones' research activities resulted in Intellectual Property, including National & International Patents. Dr Jones joined UWS in the winter of 2001 taking on the challenge of developing advanced Blended and Problem Based Learning in the Biochemistry disciplines, including Molecular Medicine and Cellular Biotechnology. Dr Jones' laboratory has successfully supported over 50 graduate and postgraduate students as well as six Postdoctoral Fellows to date. More recently Dr Jones, as Chief Investigator, was charged with securing $2M of funding from the Federal Government that enabled the development of the UWS Confocal Bio-Imaging Facility.
