Biography

Professor William (Bill) S. Price completed both undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Sydney. He completed his PhD in 1990. His PhD work was on the development of experimental and theoretical approaches for measuring diffusion, viscosity, transport and binding of small molecules in human red blood cells using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. His supervisors were Professor Philip W. Kuchel and Dr. Bruce A. Cornell. In 2012 he was awarded a (Higher Doctorate) Doctor of Science degree (DSc) for a thesis entitled "Magnetic resonance studies of molecular dynamics".

Professor Price's first postdoctoral position was at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Science (IAMS) founded by the Nobel Laureate, Y. T. Lee in Taipei, Taiwan 1990-1993 with Professor Lian-Pin Hwang. At IAMS he developed advanced nuclear magnetic NMR relaxation techniques for studying molecular dynamics and also collaborated with the largest hospital in Taipei on clinical studies (hypothermia and pleural effusions).

His second postdoctoral position (1993-1995) was at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan with Prof. Kikuko Hayamizu where he investigated and developed sophisticated solid-state deuterium NMR techniques for investigating polymerization as part of a national project on the development of non-linear optical polymers. During this time Professor Price also collaborated with the Himeji Institute of Technology on the effects of hydration on phenyl ring dynamics in human insulin.

Professor Price currently holds the chair of Medical Imaging Physics in the School of Science & Health and the School of Medicine at UWS. He is the director of the Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility and director of the UWS node of the National Imaging Facility and he is an Adjunct Professor at the National Wine and Grape Industry Centre at Charles Sturt University and an honorary appointment in Medical Physics, Liverpool and Macarthur Cancer Therapy Centres. He leads the Nanoscale Organisation and Dynamics Research Group at UWS.

Prof. Price has backgrounds in Biochemistry, Chemistry and Physics. He is known internationally for the experimental and theoretical development (including analysis by machine learning) of magnetic resonance techniques for measuring molecular dynamics and the application of such techniques. His research interests and expertise include Biological and Medical Physics, Magnetic Resonance, and Physical Chemistry: especially molecular dynamics in biological (e.g., tumours, plants) and chemical systems (e.g., azeotropes, supercooled water) using NMR imaging (i.e., MRI), NMR relaxation and NMR measurements of translational diffusion, solvent suppression, and MRI contrast agent development. His research has direct applications to a wide range of practical problems including:

Azeotropic systems
Cancer treatment
Freezing injury in plants
Pharmaceutical screening
Protein association,
Reaction monitoring
Batteries and electrolyte systems

Prof. Price has a wide network of collaborators both domestically and internationally.

Magnetic resonance is an extraordinarily versatile technique that allows seemingly disparate systems to be studied and yet the underlying principles of the measurements are the same. Western Sydney University has world-class facilities for high field NMR, diffusion MRI, and spectroscopy in the Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility, which he founded, at the Campbelltown Campus.

The importance of his research has resulted in more than $ 12 million in funding from a range of sources including the ARC, NHMRC, Cancer Institute of NSW and the Cancer Council NSW and philanthropic support. It has also resulted in him being awarded a number of prestigious awards and medals including the Royal Australian Chemical Institute’s (RACI) Rennie medal and the Australian and New Zealand Society for Magnetic Resonance (ANZMAG) medal. He has a long history of successful research supervision.
