Andrea Yool
University of Adelaide, SA, Australia
Andrea Yool earned her PhD degree in Physiology & Cell Biology from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1985. After postdoctoral work at Scripps Clinic (1986-89) and at Stanford University (1990-1992), she joined the University of Arizona Dept of Physiology, with joint appointments in Neuroscience and Pharmacology. In 2004 she was promoted to full Professor in the three disciplines, and in 2007 she relocated with her family to South Australia, appointed as Professor and Head of Physiology at the University of Adelaide. In Adelaide, Yool directs the Aquaporin Physiology and Drug Discovery Research program, focused on (i) identifying molecular mechanisms of function and regulation in aquaporin channels, and (ii) designing and characterising first-in-class small molecule ligands that directly modulate aquaporin channel activity. Her research team pioneered the first drug-like ligand AQP pharmacological agents that include selective antagonist and agonist compounds, as tools for basic research and clinical innovation that are currently being tested in in vivo collaborative projects in Australia and internationally.
