David Vaux, PhD is Professor at the Department of Biochemistry, La Trobe University, Australia. He obtained a PhD in molecular biology from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and worked at Stanford University before returning to Australia in 1993. In 2006 he moved to La Trobe University as a Federation Fellow. His field of research is apoptosis and a paper he published on apoptosis in Nature in 1988 has become the most highly cited primary paper from Australia in the past 25 years. He has been invited to give many seminars in apoptosis conferences (both national and international scientific meetings) including the Nobel Symposia on apoptosis in 2002. He sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Cell Biology.
