After a PhD and post-doctoral training in Manchester, Alan spent a period at the University of Washington before returning to the UK to focus on cancer therapy and the role of pharmacokinetics and pharmacology more generally. In Newcastle upon Tyne he established an internationally-recognised group working on the pharmacology of drugs in early phase clinical trials, pharmacology in children with cancer and pharmacogenetics.
He was instrumental in implementing quality control standards for academic-led studies in the UK, in conjunction with Cancer Research UK and the MHRA, and led an EU-funded international study on off-patent medicines in children.

About me
After a PhD and post-doctoral training in Manchester, Alan spent a period at the University of Washington before returning to the UK to focus on cancer therapy and the role of pharmacokinetics and pharmacology more generally. In Newcastle upon Tyne he established an internationally-recognised group working on the pharmacology of drugs in early phase clinical trials, pharmacology in children with cancer and pharmacogenetics.
He was instrumental in implementing quality control standards for academic-led studies in the UK, in conjunction with Cancer Research UK and the MHRA, and led an EU-funded international study on off-patent medicines in children. Alan also founded an online MSc course in Oncology and Palliative care that provided the model for online teaching at the University of Newcastle and led training workshops for clinicians and nurses on the principles of cancer pharmacology.
Moving to Sydney in 2014, he continued these interests, establishing links with the Melanoma Institute of Australia, Westmead Hospital and the Children’s Cancer Institute. Alan has published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles, in addition to reviews and book chapters and has supervised over 30 post-graduate students and clinical fellows.
Alan was appointed Head of School, Pharmacy and Medical Sciences at UniSA in July 2018 and became Dean of Research, Clinical and Health Sciences in April 2020.
