Bryan G. Fry graduated from the Portland State University Honours Program with a dual degree in Molecular Biology (BSc) and Scientific Philosophy, with a minor in Psychology (BA) (1990-1995). Drawn to Australia by its numerous toxic creatures, he completed a PhD from the University of Queensland on the toxic natriuretic peptides of the inland taipan (1997-2000, awarded in 2002). In 2000, he worked as a research assistant at the Australian Venom Research Unit (AVRU) at the University of Melbourne. He then took up a postdoctoral fellowship at the National University of Singapore (2001-2002), which allowed him to work on Asian snakes and build on his research into snake venom evolution. He returned to Australia and the University of Melbourne as deputy director and an ARC postdoctoral fellow at the AVRU (2003-2006). In 2007, he joined the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Melbourne as an ARC Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow (2007-11). He then rejoined the University of Queensland in 2011 on an ARC Future Fellowship and is now an Professor at the School of the Environment, University of Queensland, where he is the group leader of the Adaptive Biotoxicology Laboratory.
Well done!
