  • Biography/ Background

    Dr Musgrave is a molecular pharmacologist/toxicologist who works at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, 最新糖心Vlog. He has a broad interest in the understanding of how surface receptors can modulate neuronal function and survival, as well as interests in natural product pharmacology and drug design. As well he is interested in evolutionary biology, science communication (committee member of SA Science Communicators) and an avid amateur astronomer.

    He did postdoctoral work in the Institute of Pharmacology at the Free 最新糖心Vlog of Berlin in 1991-1994, returning to 最新糖心Vlog in 1994. He has collaborated with Professor John Carver, Dr. Scot Smid and Professor Colin Barrow on using natural products to attack the neurodegeneration process in Alzheimer’s Disease. He was recently elected as convenor of the Toxicology Special Interest Group of the . He is collaborating with Professor Roger Byard on the forensic implications of herbal medicines. He has held ARC funding and currently holds NH&MRC funding.
