Dr David Hawkes

David Hawkes gained his PhD through the Burnet Institute and Monash University in molecular virology focusing on HIV. He has undertaken post doctoral positions which both the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at The University of Melbourne and at The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. His work involved creating novel and innovative viral vectors which could be used to modulate specific regions, or even cell types within those regions, to assist understanding the mechanism by which emotional stress drives autonomic functions. Recently he has undertaken a short term position with Professor Suzanne Garland running the VACCINE study which looked at the effect of HPV vaccination on the genotype of HPV infections in young women.  In March this year David started working with the Victorian Cytology Service as the Molecular Microbiology Manager and is overseeing HPV DNA testing, which is currently growing rapidly as part of the COMPASS trial. David has also been heavily involved with combatting misinformation about vaccination for the past five years and has featured on national television, national and international newspapers and numerous online forums including several articles on vaccination for the TheConversation.edu.au.
