In his research Adlard concentrates on understanding the biology, ecology and diversity of parasites of marine organisms, with view to solving major economic problems of significance to Australian and international fisheries. Adlard works on rationalising systematics of myxozoan parasites to provide benchmarks for study and diagnosis of fish pathogens. As Senior Curator of Parasitology at Queensland Museum Adlard is responsible for what is estimated to be 5th largest collection of such material in the world, and for the International Reference Centre for Avian Haematazoa. Adlard is a member of the Steering Committee for the MalariaRCN, a research co-ordinated network to promote research on Malaria and related Haemosporidian parasites of wildlife. He is also Regional Resource Expert for the Network of Aquaculture Centres of the Asia-Pacific and Chair of the National Reference Group for Neptune Project, the Australian aquatic animal health web-platform. 1965 1965 Life event - Family migrated to Australia 1983 1983 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), University of Queensland 1990 1990 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Queensland 1992 1995 Career position - Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Department of Parasitology, University of Queensland 1996 1997 Career position - Assistant Curator, Queensland Museum 1997 2004 Career position - Curator of Protozoa, Queensland Museum 1999 Career position - Honorary Research Consultant, Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, University of Queensland 2004 2006 Career position - Senior Curator, Queensland Museum 2006 Career position - Head of Marine Environments and Senior Curator of Parasitology, Queensland Museum 2014 2014 Award - Fellow, Australian Society for Parasitology 2019 2019 Award - Queensland Museum Medal Australian Society for Parasitology Inc (1964 - )
