Previously, in the late 1970s and 1980s, I was employed as a Medical Technologist in the clinical aspects of Diagnostic and Anatomical Pathology (UWA) and was responsible for establishing the histopathology service for "Perth Pathology" a private practice. While at the State Health Labs (now The Path Centre) I worked in Neuropathology and the Coronial Service performing a routine surgical service with the emphasis being on histochemistry. Late in 1989 a change of direction brought me into the Research Field (UWA) under Professor Grounds, with continuous funding initially from the Raine Foundation, followed by NH@MRC Grants, American Muscular Dystrophy Association and Parent Project (European).
