Short History:
Following graduation from the University of Otago (New Zealand) as a dentist, Mike did a PhD in Biochemistry (Otago), spent a year in private dental practice, then undertook postdoctoral positions investigating calcium signalling with Claude Klee (National Cancer Institute, NIH, USA) and protein phosphorylation with Sir Philip Cohen (University of Dundee, Scotland). On return to Otago in 1990, he established his independent research career, focusing on the cells that form dental enamel. In 2003, Mike shifted camp to Melbourne where he currently works in the Paediatrics and Pharmacology Departments under auspice of the Melbourne Research Unit for Facial Disorders
