Professor Anthony Weiss is the McCaughey Chair in Biochemistry, Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biotechnology, Leader of the Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine Node at the Charles Perkins Centre, and Professor at the Bosch Institute at the University of Sydney. He is an inventor on forty-three awarded patents, on ten Editorial Boards, Fellow of nine societies and was recently awarded the Order of Australia in the field of biotechnology, as an academic, researcher, author and mentor, and through executive roles with scientific institutions. He has pioneered research into human tropoelastin (the protein building-block that gives tissue its elasticity) and discovered how to assemble it into synthetic elastin biomaterials that accelerate and improve the repair of scars and wounds. This work over two decades has made him the world leader in the field, and his patented biomaterials inventions recently led to one of the largest commercial transactions in Australian healthcare history.
