Associate Professor Anthony (Tony) Woods graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in pathology then completed a Doctor of Philosophy, both from the University of Western Australia. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Adelaide with majors in philosophy and psychology. While still completing his PhD, Tony was appointed to the then SA Institute of Technology as a lecturer in histopathology.
Since that time he has contributed to education and research mostly in the area of Laboratory Medicine but with his background in pathology he has taught in various allied health programs in the University.

About me
Associate Professor Anthony (Tony) Woods graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in pathology then completed a Doctor of Philosophy, both from the University of Western Australia. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Adelaide with majors in philosophy and psychology. While still completing his PhD, Tony was appointed to the then SA Institute of Technology as a lecturer in histopathology.
Since that time he has contributed to education and research mostly in the area of Laboratory Medicine but with his background in pathology he has taught in various allied health programs in the University. Tony has authored or contributed to many books, book chapters and research papers. He is on the editorial board of several international journals and is co-editor of the Australian Journal of Medical Science. While primarily a histologist, his major research interest is in blood vessels and cancer which has led to an exploration of snake venoms as a potential source of pharmacologically useful anti-cancer agents. National and international research collaborations have led to cover articles in both Nature and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
His extensive experience in policy development and curriculum formulation has seen Tony appointed as a consultant to governments, universities and various review and registration boards in Australia and overseas. After more than three decades Tony has carved an international reputation for commitment to the Laboratory Medicine profession especially in the education of young scientists. This was formally recognised in 2008 when he was awarded an Australian Learning and Teaching Council (formerly Carrick Institute) Citation for sustained excellence in curriculum development in the field of Laboratory Medicine. His contribution and standing in the field sees Tony frequently invited to speak at national and international conferences on the current and future status of the medical science profession. In September, 2014 after serving for three consecutive 2-year terms, he stepped down from the Presidency of the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists. He is a Founding Fellow of the Faculty of Science in the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia.
