Damon is now a lab head at the University of South Australia and SA Pathology Centre for Cancer Biology (CCB). At the CCB, he is continuing to study airway inflammation and also applying his experience working on lymphocyte differentiation and function to cancer immunology. Damon holds a Hospital Research Foundation Mid-Career Fellowship (2019-2021), is a visiting associate professor at Chiba University, and has faculty and associate faculty appointments at SAHMRI and the CCB.
