Research interests
The immune system is vital for maintaining good health. However, much remains to be learnt about how it develops normally, how it is perturbed in disease and how it is subverted during infection. One key facet of the immune system are the various cytokines and their receptors that regulate it. Prof. Ward leads a research team at Deakin University’s new Medical School investigating the genes involved in the development of the immune system, including cytokine receptor signalling components, with the aim of understanding their function, evolution, and role in disease. This research utilises multi-disciplinary approach, combining bioinformatics, molecular biology and functional genomics approaches in the zebrafish model.
Prof. Ward’s group is housed in the $15M Molecular Medicine Research Facility, which opened in April 2011 and contains a comprehensive suite of equipment to service molecular biology, cell biology, microscopy and histology at PC2 level. CI-Ward also oversees the ARC LIEF-funded FishWorks facility, which consists of an extensive Aquatic Habitats aquarium with a 700-tank capacity, including breeding tanks, independent light cycles, and nursery, as well as an exquisite range of equipment for zebrafish embryo manipulation and analysis, including dedicated microinjectors, fluorescence microscopes and digital cameras, and currrenlty being further upgraded.
Teaching interests
Prof. Ward has significant teaching expertise, previously serving as Year 1 & 2 Co-ordinator for Medicine and Course Director for Biomedical Science. He currently teaches into ‘Human Biology’ and ‘Infection, Defence & Repair’ in the Medical Course and ‘Immunology & Hematology’ in Biomedical Sciences, and contributes to the supervision of 3rd year, Intern, Honours and PhD students.
Knowledge areas
Prof. Ward was awarded a Bachelor of Science (Honours), Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Melbourne, and has then trained as a European Molecular Biology Organisation Long-Term Fellow and a Sylvia and Charles Viertel Senior Medical Research Fellow. This has provided him with significant expertise in biochemistry, genetics, functional genomics, bioinformatics, immunology, haematology and developmental biology.
