Bio

David James was awarded a PhD in 1985 in Physiology and Biochemistry from UNSW. During this period, together with colleagues at the Garvan Institute, he developed novel methodologies for studying in vivo glucose metabolism in small animals leading to a number of important discoveries about the role of tissue specificity of insulin action at the whole body level.
