Andrew obtained his BSc (Hons) and PhD from Monash University prior to postdoctoral positions in both Hong Kong and Philadelphia, USA. .

His previous research focused on cellular interactions in the male reproductive system and gave him excellent grounding in cell culture and molecular biological techniques. Since 2001, Andrew has focussed on elucidating the complicated biology of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and more recently has examined methods for the differentiation of hESC to cells of the kidney.   In September 2007 Andrew was elected as a Board Member and Director of the Australian Society of Medical Research (ASMR).  The ASMR is the peak professional society representing Australian health and medical research.
