Biography
Dr Don Newgreen obtained his PhD at the University of Melbourne's Zoology Department and has held postdoctoral research positions at the Institute d'Embryologie et Biologie Moleculaire (Paris, France), the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology (Tübingen, Germany), Department of Cell and Structural Biology, Manchester University (UK) and Department of Paediatric Surgery, Westmead Hospital (Sydney). Dr Newgreen has served as a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) panel member and regularly assesses grant and fellowship applications from the NHMRC, Australian Research Council (ARC), as well as for granting bodies from USA, Canada, NZ, Hong Kong, Europe and UK. He regularly reviews for journals including Nature, J. Cell Biology, Stem Cells, Cancer Research, Cold Spring Harbor Protocols and many developmental journals. He is on the editorial board of Cells Tissues Organs, Development Growth & Differentiation, and Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical and Frontiers in Autonomic Neuroscience. Dr Newgreen initiated and was inaugural President of The EMT International Association (TEMTIA), dedicated to the process of cell separation and invasion known as epithelial-mesenchymalcell transition or EMT. He organises the highly successful biannual interdisciplinary TEMTIA conferences, which started in 2003. He was an inaugural member of the ARC Network in Genes and Environment in Development, the EMP athy Breast Cancer Network and the Asia-Pacific Network for Developmental Biology.
