Dr Crispin Dass

Biography

I majored in Medical Biotechnology, with a first class Honours from Charles Sturt University, NSW. I then obtained a doctorate in the field of Biomedical Sciences, in the area of cancer therapy, at the same university. I have 24 years of basic and applied research in cancer, molecular techniques, in vivo (small animal) experimentation, cell culture testing, and significant drug formulation and delivery skills. I have worked on bigpharma projects (Amgen, Novartis, Glaxo-Wellcome, Johnson & Johnson) in oncology and drug testing, with original research papers in such journals as Nature Medicine, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Biomaterials and Journal of Controlled Release.  I have been at a lab leadership role for the past 12 years, and have trained in excess of 100 students and research staff on the techniques of cancer research and associated cell biology and pharmaceutics in my career.
