John graduated BSc Hons from Canterbury University in 1966 and then, under the supervision of Dr Walter Metcalf, constructed a computer simulation of calcium metabolism, earning a PhD in Chemistry in 1970. In 1969 he was appointed a Scientific Officer in the Department of Endocrinology at the Princess Margaret Hospital, Christchurch. In 1973 John was granted leave to undertake post-doctoral work at McGill University, Montreal and returned to the Department of Endocrinology in 1975. In 2001 John was awarded a Graduate Diploma in Quality Assurance with Distinction by Massey University. John's interests include quantitative diagnostic immunoassays, statistical quality control, statistics and the adsorption of peptides and proteins to solid surfaces.
