Prof Rick Leventer
Professor Leventer is a paediatric neurologist and a clinician scientist. He works in the Neuroscience group at Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI).
He received medical training at Monash University (including a BMedSci in biological psychiatry) and trained in general paediatrics and paediatric neurology at the Royal Children's Hospital. He then completed a two-year fellowship in clinical paediatric neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis followed by two years as a Neurogenetics Fellow in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago, working under Professors William Dobyns and David Ledbetter on the Brain Malformation Research Project.
He then returned to The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) as a Consultant Neurologist in July 2001. In October 2007, he received his PhD on human cortical malformations, focusing on polymicrogyria. Professor Leventer is a past president of the Australia and New Zealand Child Neurology Society.
