We were the first (hands on) to radio iodinate the hepatitis B antigen, making screening assays possible. <br>Our lab was the first in Australia to offer a diagnostic test for digoxin toxicity and the pathology service we offered all over Australia probably saved hundreds of lives. <br>In 2002 David set about designing and fitting out a private laboratory. This was to be the ultimate innovation not just in design but in methodology also, specializing in radio labelling, assay development and running clinical and experimental trials in cardiovascular and endocrine research<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">With increasing regulatory legislation for work place safety using radioactive materials, it was not surprising that universities and research institutes were being discouraged from continuing to use radioisotopes in their laboratories (no matter how miniscule the risks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Three things were becoming evident. (1) Radioimmunoassay was still the most sensitive and specific way to measure peptides in a minefield of peptidases, inhibitors, co-factors and carrier proteins. (2) There are few people more qualified and experienced in this area of laboratory science than David Casley. (3) The laboratories of ProSearch International Australia have been skilfully designed and fitted out to support the most innovative refinements to radiological laboratory medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><em>Using radioisotopes in laboratory medicine is a powerful science but sadly it has been unjustly maligned. Together we can bring radiometric analysis out of the dark. <\/em><br><strong>Ask how by contacting David Now! <\/strong><br><strong>Ph:+61-3-95096260 or M: +61-414 437 361.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/?page_id=245\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(130,201,54) 0%,rgb(0,208,130) 100%);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">CONTACT<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History of ProSearch International Australia Pty Ltd David Casley is the Managing Director of ProSearch International Australia Pty Ltd.\u00a0 He is a well qualified medical scientist who gained his expertise working for 35 years in Departments of Medicine at two of Australia\u2019s leading universities, the University of Melbourne and Monash University.\u00a0 Under the supervision of&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/?page_id=25\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;About Us&rdquo;<\/span> &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prosearch.net.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
