He discovered the molecular clock that triggers the death of platelets, and a gene in bone marrow that is critical for the production of blood stem cells. From 2004 to 2017 Kile conducted his research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medic al Research, ultimately becoming a Division Head. He then moved to Monash University to lead the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, and later to the University of Adelaide as Executive Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine. In 2010 Kile was awarded the Science Minister's Prize for Life Scientist of the Year for his achievements in molecular genetics. 1993 1993 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), Monash University 1995 1995 Education - LLB, Monash University 1997 1997 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), University of Melbourne 2001 2001 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Melbourne 2001 2003 Career position - Leukemia Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, U.S.A. 2004 2004 Award - National Health and Medical Research Council Industry Fellowship 2005 2008 Award - Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship, Australian Research Council 2007 2007 Award - Victorian Young Tall Poppies Award, Australian Institute of Policy and Science 2008 Career position - Senior Research Fellow, National Health and Medical Research Council 2008 2008 Award - Burnet Prize, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute 2008 2017 Career position - Laboratory Head (later Division Head), Division of Molecular Medicine, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research 2009 2013 Award - Sylvia and Charles Viertal Charitable Foundation Senior Medical Research Fellowship 2010 2010 Award - Science Minister's Prize for Life Scientist of the Year, Commonwealth of Australia 2013 2013 Award - Gottschalk Medal, Australian Academy of Science 2015 2015 Award - Research Medal (Merck Millipore Research Medal), Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 2016 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences (FAHMS) 2017 2019 Career position - Head, Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Monash University 2019 Career position - Executive Dean, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Adelaide The University of Adelaide (1874 - 2026)
