BSc Hons (Adelaide) 

PhD (Macquarie) 

Angela completed a BSc at the University of Adelaide and a PhD in Molecular Genetics at
Macquarie University. She did post-doctoral research in the area of molecular genetics at
Washington University in the US. 

On returning to Australia she continued this research at the University of Adelaide. In
1991 she took a position at the South Australian Forensic Science Centre where she
developed and implemented DNA typing for forensic casework. She introduced DNA typing to
the courts of SA, Queensland, ACT and also provided DNA evidence in NSW and Victoria. She
was heavily involved in the setting up of Quality Guidelines for DNA testing for both
forensic and parentage purposes. 

As a qualified ATA/ASCLD-LAB inspector she was involved in audits and accreditations of a
number of forensic laboratories around the world including the FBI. She moved to
Queensland in 1999 and worked in the CRC for Diagnostics at QUT and for six years. She
moved to Bond University in July 2005.
