Biography

Ian Dawes is an Emeritus Professor at the University of New South Wales, with a distinguished career focusing on the responses of eukaryotic organisms to oxidative stress and aging. He has significantly contributed to understanding yeast responses to oxidative stress, demonstrating that yeast cells exhibit inducible responses to peroxides and free radicals. His research has identified mechanisms of cellular defense, repair, and survival, particularly in the context of glutathione metabolism and the cell cycle response to oxidative damage. Dawes' pioneering work has included elucidation of the molecular basis of one-carbon metabolism regulation and the control of gene expression during cell development. His leadership roles include serving as Honorary Visiting Professor and Scientia Professor, alongside numerous other administrative positions. He has received various accolades, including election to the Australian Academy of Sciences and has been actively involved in editorial boards and scientific committees.
