biotechnology company. The Nanopatch technology has been licensed to US-based pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. Professor Kendall’s research group received the Eureka Prize for Research by an Interdisciplinary Team in 2011. Professor Kendall is an inaugural Australian Research Council Future Fellow.

 

Professor Kendall has key international links spanning academia and industry including the University of Oxford, where he was a lecturer; Harvard; PATH; WHO; and the University of Washington. Professor Kendall is a member of a Scientific Advisory Group sponsored by the WHO that aims to fast−track the development of needle−free vaccine delivery technology for use in poor countries. His Nanopatch technology has been licensed to US –based pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. Professor Kendall has lectured at the University of Oxford. While there, he was instrumental in building up PowderJect/PowderMed, which was sold to Pfizer for $US400 million.

 

Professor Kendall is the recipient of more than $40 million in competitive research funding and another $33 million from industry. He edits papers in the Journal of Nanotechnology and Shock Waves Journal. Professor Kendall is the inventor of 96 patents.

 

Professor Kendall is a Rolex Laureate, recognising pioneering efforts to expand knowledge and improve human life. He is the recipient of many prestigious accolades, including the The Australian Innovation Challenge in 2011. His AIBN group received the 2011 Eureka Prize for Interdisciplinary Research; and the Queensland Clinical Trial Network and Merck’s 2010 Translational Research Excellence Commercialisation Award. Professor Kendall won the Australian Society for Medical Research and Amgen’s Australia Medical Researcher Award in 2008; and was named Young Engineer of Britain 2004.
