Office Holders
Director of Operations:
Prof Graham Galloway
Prof Galloway is the Group Leader of the MR Imaging Group at the Centre for Magnetic Resonance (University of Queensland). Research interests include the use of in vivo Magnetic Resonance to investigate the action of and test the efficacy of pharmaceutical agents, novel applications for the use of Magnetic Resonance in physiological studies and material sciences, and in pushing the boundaries of the technology into new applications, and higher field strength. The use of MR in pharmaceutical research has been productive, with significant findings in the use of a new therapy for diabetes, the development of a model for the aging brain and the development of methodology for investigating cardiac function. Prof Galloway has also had involvement in projects using MR to investigate water movement into concrete, the mechanics of the knee and monitoring of knee injuries and the assessment of training protocols for improving athletic endurance and stamina.

Operations Facilities Manager:
Dr Simon Nevin
Dr Simon Nevin started his career as a microbiologist, and a few years later went to Hungary with a UNESCO fellowship on “Methods in Modern Biology”, staying to do a biochemical doctorate on the selectivity of δ-opioid receptors. After returning to Australia worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Queensland, investigating functional drug receptor interactions associated with pain using electrophysiology. For the last couple of years he has been managing the Adams Laboratory at Queensland Brain Institute, and has recently joined The Centre for Advanced Imaging as the National Imaging Facilities, NCRIS Facilities Manager.
