معرفی
Professor Wally Thomas holds academic positions at the University of Queensland, including Affiliate of the Centre for Cardiovascular Health and Research and Professor and Chair in General at the School of Biomedical Sciences (Faculty of Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences). He is available for supervision and is a media expert in Cardiovascular disease, Cell biology, and G protein-coupled receptors.
Education: Completed Bachelor of Science, Bachelor (Honours) of Science (Advanced), and Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland.
Research Interests: Focus on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), angiotensin receptors, cardiotoxicity mechanisms, bitter taste receptors in cardiac cells, and cardiovascular drug development. His work integrates pharmacology, cell biology, and molecular biology to understand receptor signaling and disease pathogenesis.
Grants and Funding: Includes NHMRC IDEAS Grants for protecting hearts from trastuzumab-induced cardiomyopathy, ARC Discovery Projects, and equipment grants for advanced imaging technologies.
Supervision: Advised numerous PhD students on topics like cardiac pathophysiology, taste receptors in heart function, and receptor crosstalk mechanisms. Current students focus on HER2 in cardiac function and neuregulin's role in heart failure.
Labs/Teams: Involved in collaborative projects on drug discovery, cardiac regeneration, and cellular signaling pathways. Leads initiatives in pharmacology screening and advanced microscopy facilities.
