Career Summary
Biography
Hugh has developed extensive expertise in cell and molecular profiling technologies based on metabolomics for the measurement of metabolites in cell systems including bacteria as well as mammalian tissues and fluids. The analytical approaches have been developed over the last 25 years and have primarily focused on gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The approaches have extended our capacity to undertake complex organic analyses to determine the impacts of environmental parameters on metabolism and health. Over the last 25 years, a cell and molecular profiling laboratory has been established for the Metabolic Research Group, which is specifically configured for biological research and contains two GC-MS units and two gas chromatographs (FID and ECD) with associated reference databases for metabolite identification. This represents a valuable facility for studying the impact of environmental factors on metabolism across two major areas of research focus:
1. Investigating how pathogenic bacteria respond to subtle changes in the environment in the human wound site. Studies have revealed that staphylococci display remarkable capacities to continually adjust to small changes in pH, temperature and salt by altering membrane composition and cytoplasmic homeostasis.
a) The responses to these stressors appear to modulate the bacterial phenotypes to the extent where highly resistant forms can be generated under certain conditions which could provide a basis to understanding multi-drug resistance in chronic infections.
b) The multivariate models of research have also provided some insight as to how pathogens can exist long term within the host via intracellular invasion mechanisms or the formation of biofilms on prosthetic implants.
2. Investigating anomalies in metabolic homeostasis associated with fatigue. Measurements of key nutrients lost during via sweat and urine have indicated that these avenues of loss can have adverse impacts on muscle stores of proteins. Investigations have utilised 3 models for investigation;
a) athletes undertaking defined exercise regimes under tightly controlled environmental conditions;
b) cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment; and
c) horses undergoing defined training regimes.
The studies provided evidence that when supplementation is undertaken to provide key nutrients identified as components lost via sweat and urination, there were notable improvements in fatigue and recovery from exercise. In addition, it was found that not all people (or horses), have the same requirements.
The research capacity of this specialised unit has led to numerous multidisciplinary research collaborations with medical specialists and environmental scientists which have all resulted in associated peer review publications. This work could not be carried out by either partner on their own, but together the associations represented truly functional multidisciplinary investigations. The specialised laboratory has made an excellent learning environment for PhD students to learn state-of-the art techniques in metabolomics and develop professional skills in experimental design, quality control and data processing skills. A major outcome has been the development of skills in multivariate analyses required for metabolomics and similar approaches to measuring complex cellular responses.
Research Expertise
The primary research focus for RHD has been to use organic and elemental analyses to investigate changes in biochemical homeostasis. The technology platform has facilitated several successful multidisciplinary collaborations which have resulted in publications spanning the fields of ecotoxicology, biotechnology, metabolism and disease research. The research activities fall under 3 types: (1) Basic research: method development has been a critical component and has included the investigation of how the changing environment influences metabolic homeostasis in staphylococcal species.
Areas of expertise include: a. Multifactorial experimental design b. Extractions of cells and the surrounding medium for the analyses of fatty acids, organic acids, amino acids and sugars. c. Analyses by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry and gas chromatography – flame ionisation detection. (2) Clinical research: collaborations have been made with clinicians to investigate potential anomalies in biochemical homeostasis associated with persistent fatigue. Three research models have been developed: a. The investigation of non-fatigued patients undergoing radiotherapy for cancer where 30-40% end up with significant fatigue post treatment. This give insight to the changes in homeostasis associated with the onset of fatigue. b. The investigation of fatigue generated by athletes under defined exercise regimes and climate conditions to assess the nutrient losses and catabolic responses related to muscle fatigue. c. The investigation of race horses with highly defined training regimes and diets to assess nutrient losses via sweating and the efficacy of amino acid supplementation to reduce demand on catabolism in the muscles. These 2 areas of research activities have considerable overlap and have facilitated new approaches to metabolic research by developing a capacity for multivariate analyses of complex biochemical and microbial datasets.
Teaching Expertise
Hugh has taught first year Biology, second year biochemistry and third year Microbiology for 17 years before becoming Head of School in 2007. The topic areas for biology included: • basic biological chemistry concepts • structure of nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids • an overview of the diversity of bacteria and archaea • interactions for various symbioses • an overview of aquatic and terrestrial microbes. In addition, Hugh contributed to the development of the professional lab skills courses in biology which aimed to deliver high quality laboratory based training with enhanced resource support at both the 2nd year and 3rd year levels. The second year course aims to provide a range of basic analytical skills for microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, as well as for the animal, plant and ecology systems. The third year level courses represent an exciting new concept in undergraduate teaching, where the timetables have been arranged to accommodate 3 day sessions where the students complete an extensive and challenging project. These sessions are designed to reinforce the use of the basic techniques provided in the second year course and teach them concepts in experimental design and data interpretation Course Development As Head of School of Environmental and Life Sciences, I have been responsible for a program of course rationalisation within the Biology Discipline and across a range of other degree programs within the school. The focus was to devise a delivery platform that provided a diverse range of Biology topics and provided specialised laboratory training for those choosing to major in Biology. This has been achieved by instigating a number of innovations where only those who have need for laboratory training sit the new series of Professional Skills courses offered in first year, second and third years. Other students whom we service for psychology, engineering or environmental studies who do not require such training receive high levels of education in their chosen biological subjects via lectures, tutorials and web-based learning systems. This has enabled a far more effective use of funds with higher than average staff to student ratios. Postgraduate Training Hugh has been involved in the training of Honours research students in the laboratory as well as PhD students. This level of training relates to instruction in scientific philosophy, experimental design, data processing, statistics, data interpretation and scientific writing. These students learn how to review the literature on a constructive basis and become competent at various biochemical, analytical and microbial techniques. Issues of quality assurance and performance accuracy are developed as major aspects of the research projects.
Administrative Expertise
RHD has held several administration roles over the period of employment at the University of Newcastle, including membership of the Biohazards Technical Sub-Committee (1994-2001). In more recent years, the administrative involvement has focused more on roles relating to University Governance. --Head of School, School of Environmental and Life Sciences, 2007 - present --Deputy Head of School, School of Environmental and Life Sciences, 2004 - 7 --Assistant Dean for Community Relations (2003-2004) --Head of School of Environmental and Life Sciences (2007- present) The School of Environmental and Life Sciences is a very large school encompassing the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Earth Sciences, Environmental Science and management, and Applied Sciences across both of the university's campuses at Callaghan and Ourimbah. The diverse teaching areas, philosophies and areas of expertise lead to complex budget and management arrangements. The diverse nature of the school generates significant challenges for effectively managing budgets and developing fruitful strategic policies. As HOS, I sit on the Faculty Executive Committee, the Faculty Board, the Faculty strategic planning committee and I chair the school executive committee. Essentially I am responsible for managing over 60 academic staff and delivering a wide range of undergraduate degree programs including 5 majors within the BSc, B Biotechnology and the B Environmental Science and Management. The management responsibilities include: o Management of Budgets o Part time teaching allocations o Chemicals consumables budget for teaching o Establishing spreadsheets for modelling, predicting and monitoring expenditure o Managing RHD student completions o Approval and processing of RHD scholarship applications o Course rationalisation, program review and resource management o Review discipline course structure with a view to decrease face-to-face hours for academics o Manage staff workload o Develop good practice for OH&S in the teaching and research environment.
Collaborations
The development of cell and molecular profiling (CMP) techniques for studying alterations in homeostasis following exposures to various forms of stress. The research requires multidisciplinary collaboration with colleagues in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences as well as in other national and international institutions. The primary foci of research interests includes: - The investigation of metabolic responses by staphylococci to alterations in environmental parameters which mimic the human wound site. - The assessment of nutrient losses under controlled exercise or disease conditions as a model for understanding the biochemical basis of fatigue. The primary collaboration occurs between colleagues at the University of Gothenburg.
