EDUCATION

Doctor of Philosophy, conferred April 1982.
Department of Zoology, Australian National University.
PhD Thesis: "Monoclonal Antibodies to Fasciola hepatica".
Supervisor: Dr M.J. Howell
Honours Thesis: "Antigenic Analysis of Fasciola hepatica".
Bachelor of Science, Australian National University.
Majors: Parasitology, Vertebrate Zoology, Biochemistry.
The three major impacts of my research:
1. My discovery, with Dr Abbott, of two enzymes, DPP8 and DPP9, enabled the Merck Corporation to
counter screen on these enzymes when developing the first compound, sitagliptin, which selectively
inhibits DPP4 but not DPP8 or DPP9. This selective inhibitor is the most successful type 2 diabetes
st
therapy of the 21 century. Many other pharmaceutical companies now market similarly selective, safe
and effective DPP4 inhibitors. Some such companies licensed DPP8 and contracted me as a consultant
or to evaluate DPP4 selectivity. DPP4 inhibitors obtained FDA approval in the USA in 2006 and entered
the Australian Public Benefit Scheme in 2008. My recent discovery that DPP9 enzyme deficiency is lethal
in young mice [Gall et al 2013] confirms that DPP4 selectivity is essential.
2. Our pioneering establishment in Australia of DNA microarray analysis of gene expression in diseased
liver led to the novel identification of many disease-associated genes. These discoveries, such as roles
for WNT, DDR1, Hedgehog, CD147 and Th1 cells, have been built upon by us and many labs to better

understand chronic liver disease. These projects were funded by the peak bodies of both Australia and
USA, NHMRC (358398; McCaughan, Gorrell) and NIH (RFA/DK/98.017; Farrell, McCaughan, George).
3. Both DPIV and the DPIV-related enzyme fibroblast activation protein [FAP] are made by tumour
stromal fibroblasts. We discovered that FAP is also readily detected in diseased but not healthy liver and
that its abundance is proportional to scarring severity. FAP has since been found in other fibrotic
diseases. We have shown that FAP influences cell adhesion, migration and death in vitro. We found that
FAP is probably a useful diagnostic for liver fibrosis. Many labs worldwide are now examining potential
FAP-targeted disease therapies.
RESEARCH GOALS
My primary long-term goal is to progress towards an understanding of disease pathogenesis and to
learn to harness this knowledge to improve disease outcomes. To this end I have been studying
leukocyte phenotypes and the kinetics of local immune responses, comparing effective and ineffective
immune responses, biochemical and serological analyses of the glycoproteins of pathogens and
mammals. While advancing toward this goal I have accumulated extensive experience in cell biology,
immunology and protein biochemistry. My focus has been the pathogenesis of liver diseases, tumours,
parasites, bacteria and viruses, in particular immune responses.
I realigned my research into medical research during the 1990s by retraining. I am now primarily
interested in the pathogenesis of cirrhosis and the roles of a specific class of peptidases, the prolyl
oligopeptidases, which includes dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) 4, DPP8, DPP9 and FAP (fibroblast activation
protein).

DP8 and DP9 patents and expenses are managed by the University Business Office (Sydnovate).
The primary use of the patents is to measure the selectivity of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV inhibitors
being used for type 2 diabetes therapy.
Regarding significance see UniNews item, “Sydney’s key role in diabetes success” by E. Heath. March
21, 2008.
Maintaining this IP including responses to patent office reports, associated commercial projects
and liason with Sydnovate occupied my significant attention 1998-2015.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
I have trained in immunology, biochemistry, virology, liver disease pathogenesis, and serology. I was
primarily in veterinary research until re-training into medical research at Johns Hopkins University 1990-93.
I am now primarily interested in the pathogenesis of cirrhosis and the roles of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) 4,
DPP8, DPP9 and FAP (fibroblast activation protein).
From 1977 to 1981 during my Honours and PhD research on fascioliasis I became familiar with the
technologies of monoclonal antibody (MAb) production and characterization, serology and protein
biochemistry. In 1982 to 1983 I applied this experience to commercial research at Australian Monoclonal
Development Pty Ltd. in Sydney. The primary achievements of the team I led were in the production,
characterization and application to immunodiagnosis of highly specific MAbs to strains of Brucella abortus
and to bovine immunoglobulins.
In 1984 I made and characterized MAbs to sommatotropins. These MAbs were applied to academic
and commercial research on recombinant growth hormones.
The research on pig growth hormone was sponsored by the agricultural company Bunge Australia Pty Ltd.
In 1985 I moved my career into academic research. From 1985 to 1988 I oversaw the MAb laboratory
in what is now The Centre for Animal Biotechnology, headed by Dr Mal Brandon. The Centre has been at
the forefront of sheep immunology since 1984. In this position I worked on producing, characterizing and
using MAbs to sheep leukocyte cell surface differentiation antigens. We studied lymphocyte phenotypes in
the liver, abomasum, intestine, lungs, skin, mammary glands, lymph nodes and blood of normal and
diseased sheep and cattle. I was involved in studying infections of Taenia hydatigena, Haemonchus
contortus, Fasciola hepatica, Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Mycobacterium bovis. Our most significant
discovery was that the normal liver contains large numbers of CD8loCD5- lymphocytes.
In 1988 and 1989 I worked with Dr Geoff McCaughan, Director of Research in the A. W. Morrow
Gastroenterology and Liver Centre and Physician in Charge of Transplant Hepatology, Australian National
Liver Transplant Unit. My focus was on rat dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP-IV; CD26). We discovered that the
liver antigen gp110 is DP-IV, is on B cells (in addition to T cells, bile canaliculi, endothelium, epithelium,
kidney tubules and acinar cells), is a homodimer, and that it is upregulated both on rat T cells following
activation and in rat serum during liver regeneration.
In 1989 I moved to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to study the pathogenesis of
sheep lentivirus with the research group that discovered this virus. With Professor Opendra Narayan DVM
PhD and colleagues (1) I determined that Visna virus does not infect T cells, (2) we contrasted the
immunopathology of virus isolates causing low and high levels of inflammation in brain, and (3) we studied
cytokine production by cocultures of SIV-infected macrophages with T cells. This work contrasts the sheep
lentivirus, which does not involve immunodeficiency, with the primate lentiviruses SIV and HIV.
From 1991 to 1993 I worked with the eminent expert in viral pathogenesis, Professor Diane Griffin
MD PhD. I studied a rodent encephalitic alphavirus model, Sindbis virus, examining the role of the four
nonstructural virus proteins in pathogenesis. I found that recombinant Sindbis nonstructural proteins,
derived from vaccinia but not from E. coli, can confer protective immunity upon mice by an antibodyindependent, possibly T cell dependent, mechanism. We also compared the cytokine profiles of brains and
spinal chords from immune and nonimmune mice. Like hepatitis C virus, Sindbis is a small negative strand
RNA virus.
In 1994 I returned to the Gastroenterology and Liver Centre to examine CD26/DP IV in more detail. I
am using knowledge of the CD26 gene cloned and sequenced in the Liver Centre. We stably transfected
CHO cells and purified both wild-type and catalytically inert recombinant soluble human CD26. We
dissected out structure/function relationships of CD26. We identified two residues essential for binding to
the ligand adenosine deaminase and two residues essential for enzyme activity. In collaboration with Dr
Bret Church I modelled the 3D structure of CD26. We are comparing DP IV with other dipeptidyl peptidases
such as fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and the novel enzymes DP8 and DP9 that we have cloned. We
make and purify enzymes in this work. We have found that FAP is expressed on activated hepatic stellate
cells in proportion to the degree of liver injury. The collagen digesting activity of FAP and ligand binding are
probably involved in the stellate cell mediated pathogenesis of cirrhosis. We use gene knockout mice in
these studies. I have become more directly involved in studying the pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases
21/12/15

since 1998. Using gene arrays, we have identified novel molecules of interest and are studying some in
detail.
Since 2005 I have focussed on functions of the DPP-IV enzyme family and their roles in chronic liver
injury and diabetes. This work involves many collaborations; those colleagues are listed above.
My diverse experience in biochemistry, cell biology, liver disease pathogenesis, HIV-like brain viruses,
parasites, immunity and diabetes is being applied to several projects. My research group is focussed upon
understanding and improving therapies in the fields of diabetes and chronic liver diseases.
