Nicolaas Johannes (Nick) Hoogenraad was born in The Hague, Holland in 1942. He then spent part of his childhood in Indonesia before immigrating to Australia in 1952. At fifteen, Hoogenraad went to sea but soon returned to finish his secondary schooling at McLeod High School. Hoogenraad graduated from the University of Melbourne with a BAgSc (1965) and a PhD in Biochemistry (1969). During his PhD, Hoogenraad was also a senior demonstrator for agricultural and medical practical classes.
Hoogenraad commenced a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Paediatrics at Stanford University in 1970 and was appointed to assistant professor in Human Biology in 1972. Hoogenraad returned to Australia and the newly established Department of Biochemistry at La Trobe University in 1974. Hoogenraad was given a personal chair in Biochemistry (1992), made head of the Department of Biochemistry (1993) and head of the School of Molecular Sciences (1998) – a position he still holds. As well as his research and administrative responsibilities, Hoogenraad continues to take an active interest in science education at both a secondary and tertiary level.
