Associate Professor Frederic Meunier obtained his BSc (Hons) in Neurophysiology at the Paris XI University, France in 1992 and completed his Ph.D with
distinction in Neurobiology at the CNRS in Gif-sur-Yvette, France in 1996. He was the recipient of a European Biotechnology Fellowship and went on to
postgraduate work at the Department of Biochemistry at Imperial College London (1997-1999) and at Cancer Research UK (2000-2002) in London, UK.
After a short sabbatical at the LMB-MRC in Cambridge (UK), he became a group leader at the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of
Queensland in 2003. He joined the Queensland Brain Institute of the University of Queensland, Australia in 2007 and obtained an NHMRC senior research
fellowship A in 2009 and B in 2013. Since establishing his laboratory at UQ, he has built a solid research group of 12-15 people and has attracted more
than $9M in funding to support work into the mechanism of neuronal vesicular trafficking in health and disease. He has received a number of awards
including the UQ Research Excellence award and more recently the Queensland International Fellowship.
