Prof. David Joyce heads Clinical Pharmacology research in the Pharmacology unit at UWA, with specific research interests in clinical pharmacokinetics in the context of therapeutic drug monitoring and the pharmacological control of macrophage function in inflammatory and neoplastic diseases.
Prof. Joyce is director of the Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology laboratory at PathWest Laboratory Medicine,  practices clinically in the areas of general internal medicine and clinical pharmacology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and consults in forensic toxicology.
Prof. Joyce also coordinates undergraduate medical teaching in pharmacology and therapeutics at UWA.
