Early in his scientific research career, Crisdion has been surrounded by teams of world class researches at the Baker Institute that have welcomed and guided his inquisitive nature as a young research scientist. During his undergraduate studies at Deakin University, he undertook a half year volunteer work placement position under the supervision of Professor Bronwyn Kingwell and her team, that allowed him to enhance and develop his experimental skills both in a preclinical and clinical setting.

In 2019, Crisdion graduated from Monash Universities Central Clinical School with First Class Honours in Biomedical science. He completed his honours project in the Cardiac Cellular Systems laboratory at the Baker Institute, under the supervision of Dr Alex Pinto. Since he has, been awarded the government-funded PhD RTP stipend (formerly known as APA scholarship) through La Trobe University.

Crisdion’s work focuses on expanding our understanding on the spatial arrangement of cells within the heart, with a particular focus on investigating how physiological hypertrophy alters and affects the cellular morphology and cell spatial arrangement of the cardiac cellular environment.
