David Small is Professorial Fellow at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania.
David Small was born in 1956 in Hobart, Tasmania, but he grew up and received most of his early education in Canada. He returned to Australia in late 1977 and completed his PhD in the biochemistry department of The University of Melbourne in 1981. After postdoctoral research at MIT (Boston), he returned to Australia (Flinders Uni, Adelaide) in 1985. He moved back to the University of Melbourne in 1986 as an NHMRC Australian Postdoctoral Fellow. In 1991, he was awarded an NHMRC RD Wright Fellowship and in 1993 he was awarded an NHMRC Research Fellowship. He became an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow in 1996. He moved to Monash University in March 2003, and in 2008, he took up a position at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania.
David works in the field of brain science. David's research interests include neurodegenerative diseases (development of diagnostic tests for Alzheimer's disease, mechanisms of amyloid folding and aggregation, amyloid toxicity, therapeutics), cholinergic neurobiology (acetylcholinesterase), protein glycosylation, extracellular matrix and heparan sulfate proteoglycans, protease and neuronal cell biology. His work encompasses papers in the fields of nanotechnology (scanning tunnelling microscopy), biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, neuropharmacology, clinical diagnostics, computational neuroscience and behavioural testing. He is well known internationally in the field of Alzheimer's disease, especially for his work on the molecular mechanisms that underlie changes in acetylcholinesterase expression in Alzheimer's disease brain and on the structure and metabolism of the beta-amyloid precursor protein.

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.
How To Use WikiTree is a good place to start. It is a step-by-step-guide to WikiTree basics. Our G2G Forum is searchable or you can post a question there. The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks.
It is very important that no duplicate profiles are created in WikiTree. Please read this page for clues on avoiding profile duplication.
Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.
