• Roles: Head of GEM Transgenic Facility, Senior Lecturer (prior to 2018 at UNSW)

His research focuses on optimizing genome editing techniques for dementia applications and investigating rare genetic disorders like FoxG1 syndrome. Current projects include developing assisted reproductive techniques, engineering endonucleases, and refining gene transfer methods for genetically modified animals.

Key collaborations and funding include the FoxG1 Syndrome PhD Scholarship (2021–2025) and projects supported by the OOA_FoxG1 Foundation and NBR grants. His work has led to publications in journals such as Neuron, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal.
