Biography
Dr. Simon Myers completed his PhD in molecular cell biology at the Heart Research Institute in Sydney, where he investigated altered protein expression and activation during atherosclerosis. He then completed a postdoctoral fellow position in molecular virology and host defence in the Department of Pathology at the University of Sydney (USyd) before moving to Apollo Life Sciences as Team Leader, Senior Research Scientist of Cell Biology program. Simon then moved back into medical research by taking up a Senior Research Fellow position at the ANZAC Research Institute, where he led the Cell Biology Program in the Northcott Neuroscience Laboratory. In 2008 Simon was successful in gaining a senior lectureship in Biochemistry at the University of Western Sydney (UWS).
