STAFF UPDATE

Bruce Nalder

Assessor (Technical Standards Plant Compounds)

Originally from Nelson, Bruce moved to Christchurch to attend Canterbury University. After completing undergraduate and postgraduate studies in entomology and ecology, he worked as a Research Associate for HortResearch in Te Puke as part of their insect science team studying kiwifruit pests. In 2002 Bruce moved to Wellington to work for AgResearch where he was involved in commercially funded Good Laboratory Practice and Good Clinical Practice (Veterinary) compliant trials testing the efficacy and safety of animal health products, and research on ecto and endoparasites. His interests include tennis, reading and tramping.

Andrew Pearson

Assessor (Technical Standards Toxicology)

Andrew is enrolled in a course at the University of Surrey, working towards his BSc with honours in biochemistry, specialising in toxicology. He has travelled outside of Europe for the first time to do a working year in industry with the ACVM Group.

Andrew has been in New Zealand three months and has found settling in to be very easy. He says, ‘All Kiwis have been really friendly and Wellington is a nice city to live and work in’. Andrew hopes to visit most of the country during his too short (in his opinion) stay here.
