Form und InhaltVideo interview and transcript of interview.
Professor Jonathan Stone was born in 1942 in Auckland, New Zealand and moved to Australia with his parents when he was a baby. He received a Bachelor of Medical Science from the University of Sydney in 1963 and a PhD in 1966. After a year as a visiting lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Stone did post-doctoral research at the Institute of Biomedical Research in Chicago with Sir John Eccles, and then spent a year in Munich at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry. Stone returned to Australia in 1970 to take up a position as a research fellow at the John Curtin School of Medical Research. Here he continued his research on the retina. In 1976 Stone moved to the School of Anatomy at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) initially as a senior lecturer, then as an associate professor (1978–85). He became head of the school and took up a Personal Chair in Anatomy in 1985. During his years at the UNSW, Stone's research interests shifted from the study of parallel processing to the development of the brain. His next appointment was as Challis Professor of Anatomy at the University of Sydney (1987–2003). Here he worked on the interaction of neuroglial cells during the stresses of birth, particularly focusing on types of blindness that result from the degeneration of photoreceptor cells. Stone was appointed Director of the Research School of Biological Sciences at the Australian National University (ANU) in 2003. At the ANU his research concerns the stability and degeneration of the central nervous system, including dementia and a group of inherited eye diseases that affect the retina.
