Dr Andrew worked as a research assistant at the Kolling Institute of Medical Research at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney developing genetic tests for patients with Multiple Endocrine neoplasia type II. He undertook a PhD which identified and characterised the RET proto-oncogene promoter. Obtained a National Cancer Institute of Canada postdoctoral fellowship to work at Queens University in Canada to work on characterisation of the downstream signalling pathways from RET receptor. He took on a second postdoctoral position at the Oncology Research Unit at Westmead Childrens' Hospital working on characterisation of the role of signalling molecules in focal adhesions.
