Lynette completed her PhD at UWA before taking up postdoctoral positions at The Johns Hopkins University. On returning to UWA, she continued her research in respiratory pharmacology, with an emphasis on airway nerve function and modulation, respiratory viral infection and allergic airways disease. Lynette was part of a nation-wide team that secured funding from the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) for a project entitled “Ensuring quality graduates of Pharmacology”. She has developed a program in responsible conduct in learning and research that is now embedded within Pharmacology and Medical Research Honours curricula. Lynette led the development and implementation of the multi-disciplinary ethics unit, Social Responsibility in Action SCIE2100 and a Minor in Applied Ethics. Lynette developed the ASCEPT Mentoring Program and has received the ASCEPT Teaching Excellence Award. She is an active member of the ASCEPT Education Forum, having previously served as Chair.
