Daryl joined the Immunology Unit at The Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin in 1988 as a laboratory assistant and progressed to Flow Cytometry facility manager all whist completing a broad based BSc (NTU) and an MSc(med)-Preliminary (Syd) in Human Retrovirology part time.
In 1994 he moved to the Waite Agricultural Research Institute (Adelaide), to undertake PhD studies on Viroids and Phytoplasmas under the ever watchful gaze of Prof Bob Symons. During this time he developed RNA in situ hydridisation techniques for Light and Electron Microscopy
Then followed a short stint with a joint appointment as both Microarray Facility Manager (U Adel) and Research officer – (Goodall Lab, Hanson Institute, IMVS).
Another joint appointment as Head of Advanced Light Microscopy (Plant Cell Biology, RSBS) and Wellcome Trust Multiphoton Microscope Manager (Dept. of Neuroscience, JCSMR) saw him join the ANU in late 2000.
Since then, he has dedicated himself to all that is microscopy.
In 2003 the RSBS component transferred to ANUEMU/ CAM and since 2009 he has been the Light Microscopy Specialist at CAM.
