Dr Mark Hutchinson completed a BSc majoring in Pharmacology, Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Adelaide (1998). He continued his studies in Pharmacology with honours (1999) & PhD (2004) examining opioid metabolism & opioid immunomodulation, respectively. In 2004 he was awarded the FreshScience prize for communication of science in the media. He moved to Boulder, Colorado in 2005 to undertake Postdoctoral training in the world leading research group of Prof Linda Watkins in the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Here he pioneered with Prof Watkins the research which has lead to the discovery of novel drugs activity at innate immune receptors. Moreover, his research has lead to the implication of the brain immune cells in the action of drugs of dependence and the negative side effects of pain killers. Dr Hutchinson was awarded an NHMRC CJ Martin Fellowship in 2007. He returned to Adelaide in 2009 to continue his research in the Discipline of Pharmacology, University of Adelaide. In 2011 he was awarded an Australian Research Council Fellowship for research into sex differences in pain and drug response. He started his own laboratory in the Discipline of Physiology in the School of Medical Sciences, the Neuroimmunopharmacology Lab. He has had continued grant success, securing funding from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs Spinal Cord Injury Research scheme. He has numerous peer reviewed publications, review papers and book chapters, several patents and is frequently asked to speak at national and international conferences and symposia.
