Could Australias Deadly Snakes Put Bite on Cancer?
Bryan Grieg Fry spends his life getting up close and personal with creatures most people would do anything to avoid. But his work has also uncovered why so many of the world’s most poisonous snakes ended up in Australia, how they are continuously adapting to remain highly effective killers and how the chemistry they have mastered may be used to advance human health. A childhood fascination with snakes developed into professional research for Fry. Now he is deputy director of the Australian Venom Research Unit, based at the University of Melbourne’s medical school in the state of Victoria.
