Professor Michael Kassiou
Academic Director, Centre for Drug Discovery Innovation
Michael received his PhD in Organic Chemistry in 1992 from the University of NSW. Following this he took up a position as research scientist within the Biomedicine and Health Program at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). In 1993 he was appointed as a visiting scientist at the CEA-Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot Life Sciences group in France looking at methods for studying the living brain. Shortly after that Michael took up a postdoctoral position at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutes in Baltimore USA. In 1996 he was awarded a Fogerty Fellowship that saw him take up a position at the NIH National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) USA. He then moved back to Sydney to the Department of PET and Nuclear Medicine at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital as a Principal Hospital Scientist and in 2006 took up a position at the University of Sydney in which he is currently Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Academic Director of the Centre of Drug Discovery Innovation. He is an Honorary Professor with the Centre for Advanced Imaging at The University of Queensland and elected in 2017 to the position of Director for the Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences. He is the Editor for the Journal of Labelled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals, Chief Editor for Frontiers in Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Associate Editor for ACS Chemical Neuroscience. He is an editorial advisory board member for ChemMedChem and Trends in Pharmacological Sciences.
- Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery
- Structure-activity relationships of CNS bioactive molecules
- Rationale CNS drug design and evaluation
- Heterocyclic Chemistry
Research in my group is interdisciplinary and built around the key themes of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Our research utilises modern organic chemistry techniques to rationally design and synthesise novel compounds for a range of CNS targets which are associated with conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, dementia, schizophrenia, social anxiety and depression. In this domain understanding drug-protein and drug-binding site interactions is a key component which allows us to obtain structure-activity relationships of bioactive CNS molecules. In addition by using molecular imaging techniques within these fields we are able to better understand the living brain in normal and diseased states through in vivo studies.
