Bert's Scientific career

A quick precis. Joined Kodak Research Labs in 1968. Went to CSIRO in 1974.

My background is in Physics but wasted seven years in thin film technology at Kodak. Interference filters IR sensitive semiconductors to name a couple. I went on to work at CSIRO in their EM (Electron Microscope)department.I then ran the Xray lab to elucidate the the structure of biologically important molecules. All this takes a lot of nous.

Our lab has produced the first specific anti viral Relenza that stops any Flu virus in less than a day! We have also solved the structure of many important molecules that will lead to the cure of many other diseases. One of these most importantly is the structure at atomic resolution of the Insulin Receptor Molecule. There is far more I have no time or inclination to cover.

Lookup the papers!

Bert
