Associate Professor Phil Jobling holds a position at the University of Newcastle's School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy (Department of Human Physiology). His research focuses on autonomic and sensory nervous systems, particularly in the context of female reproductive tract function and pain mechanisms. He has a PhD from the University of Queensland and has held multiple postdoctoral fellowships, including the 1996 Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Education: PhD (University of Queensland), BSc (Honours) and MSc (University of Melbourne), Graduate Certificate in Practice of Tertiary Teaching (University of Newcastle).
Research interests include neurophysiology of visceral neurons, nerve-cancer interactions, and neurobiological mechanisms in diseases like incontinence and chronic pain. His work combines electrophysiology, histology, and animal models to study neuronal signaling pathways.
Key contributions include identifying roles of neurotrophins in tumor innervation, demonstrating nerve dependence in cancer progression, and investigating Chlamydia-induced smooth muscle dysfunction. He collaborates widely, with frequent co-authors like Hondermarck and Faulkner in oncology studies.
Awards include the Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship (1996). His grants and supervision focus on translational research bridging basic neuroscience and clinical applications.
