Henry completed his honours degree in 2007 at Monash University in the Department of Pharmacology, working with Dr. Courtney Judkins and Dr. Grant Drummond. He investigated the role of Nox2 in early atherosclerotic plaque formation in ApoE-/- mice. This work was presented at the annual ASCEPT meeting where he was awarded the Whelan prize. Currently a research assistant in the Vascular Biology & Immunopharmacology Group he is involved with animal work, PCR, western blotting and general lab management.
