Scientia Professor Justin Gooding has made pioneering, sustained contributions to the field of biosensor research, both nationally and internationally, for over 20 years. As an outstanding innovator, research leader and mentor, the level of respect he enjoys in his field and across the sector is clear from his string of senior appointments, influential roles and awards, as well as his election to the fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science. Moreover, his extensive influence upon industry adoption and commercialisation of biosensors ? both in Australia and internationally ? makes him an exceptional addition to the Fellowship.
