Synopsis
Professor Sutherland was one of Australia's most brilliant and controversial scientists. Well-known for his work on animal toxins, his legacy includes the Snake Venom Detection Kit, and Sydneysiders will always be grateful for his discovery of the Funnelweb spider antivenom, which has saved many lives. This is a witty account of a complex life, covering his time at the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, his battle to continue important research into our animal toxins, and his successful foundation of the Australian Venom Research Unit at the University of Melbourne. The story of his career is also a story about the workings and politics of bureaucracies and the research establishment in Australia. This is an intriguing read.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Softcover. Shelf wear. Edges creased. Clean, unmarked pages. xii, 385 pages, 20 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm. In a country famous for its deadly snakes and spiders, Struan Sutherland became a household name for his expertise on venomous creatures. He was also well known as one of the great larrikins of Australian medicine and as a prolific author. While working at the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (CSL), Sutherland led efforts to develop an antivenom to the Sydney funnel-web spider and revolutionized treatment of snake bites by developing the pressure-immobilization first aid technique and venom detection kits. After an acrimonious departure from CSL, Sutherland founded the Australian Venom Research Unit at the University of Melbourne's department of pharmacology in 1994, where he worked until retiring in 1999.
