Chair CSIRO Health and Medical Human Research Ethics Committee

His research focusses optimisation of pharmacotherapeutic treatment of patients through understanding the factors that are responsible for differences in response to medicines between people. This employs pharmacometric analyses (modelling and simulation) as a tool to translate basic and clinical research into improved pharmacotherapeutic use. David leads the Pharmacometrics research group at UniSA in the Australian Centre for Precision Health and is the immediate past president of the Population Approach Group of Australia and New Zealand which represents pharmacometrics in Australasia. He has served the Therapeutics Goods Administration as a member of the Pharmaceutical Sub-Committee of the Australian Drug Evaluation Committee, and as an expert adviser to the Pharmacometrics Working Party and the Australian Committee on Medicines. Having worked with several human research ethics committees, in 2024 David was appointed as Chair of the CSIRO national Health and Medical Human Research Ethics Committee and Research Integrity Advisor for Clinical and Health Sciences at UniSA.
