Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDonald Wlodkowic is a Professor of Cell Biology and Toxicology at RMIT University who leads the Neurotox Laboratory, developing biomicrofluidic platforms and real-time behavioural biotests for aquatic ecotoxicology and water-quality early-warning systems. He combines deep cell-biology and toxicology expertise with engineering-led lab automation and digital video analytics to enable high-throughput neurobehavioral assays on small aquatic models. Over a career spanning academic leadership roles in Australia, New Zealand and Europe, he has built multidisciplinary R&D teams, strategic industry partnerships, and research infrastructures that translate into applied monitoring technologies. His track record includes multiple national awards for research innovation and teaching, and a notable pivot into software-enabled tools—demonstrated by front-end development on a Whisper-based Japanese subtitle generator—reflecting a practical interdisciplinary fluency. Donald supervises large undergraduate cohorts while steering GLP-compliant labs and competitive grant programs, making him adept at both hands-on technical innovation and large-scale academic management. He brings a rare blend of cell-level mechanistic insight and systems-level engineering to environmental neurotoxicology.
