Dr Ron Weinberger - Chairman
BSc (Hons), PhD
Ron Weinberger joined 3DMorphic initially to provide strategic advice to an early stage company. After working in academia and then in the biomedical sector, Dr Weinberger joined Nanosonics Ltd (NAN) in August 2004. He was involved in the listing of NAN on the ASX in 2007. Ron was appointed as Executive Director and Board Member, in July 2008 and held that Board role for 8 years. He was appointed as CEO in May 2011 and then Managing Director which position he held for almost 3 years. As CEO, Ron grew Nanosonics from a market capitalisation of approximately $100M to approximately $240M within 2 years in a challenging economic environment. He grew annual revenue from $2.3M revenue to $14.9M over the same period and positioned NAN for near-term profitability.
Today NAN has a market cap of about $800M. Ron has held multiple roles at NAN from heading R&D/Regulatory, strategically building the IP portfolio and establishing USA operations. In commercialising the NAN product portfolio he developed distribution agreements with multinational companies such as Toshiba in the UK and Miele Professional in Germany and was a signatory on the USA GE Healthcare distribution agreement. Ron was primarily responsible for developing NAN’s lead product, Trophon, which is now sold globally with regulatory approvals in major markets including the USA. Ron has led a team identifying unique opportunities for NAN’s new products portfolio, developing the fundamental technologies as well as the business cases supporting them.
Dr Weinberger holds a PhD in medical biochemistry from the University of Newcastle and is currently CEO and Managing Director of EMVision, a medical technology company developing new types of medical imaging. Dr Weinberger will continue to provide strategic leadership capabilities to the 3DMorphic team including regulatory, intellectual property, and sales.
Dr William C.H. Parr - Co-founder & Managing Director
PhD
Dr Parr holds a PhD in Computational Anatomy (University College London and the Natural History Museum, London), and has held Post-Doctoral Research Fellow positions at the Surgical and Orthopaedic Research Laboratory at the University of New South Wales. Will came to Australia on an Endeavour Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award from the Australian Government in 2011. Will’s principal areas of expertise are in 3D modelling of anatomy, both with respect to statistical 3D shape analysis and biomechanical analyses (e.g. joint axis determination and bone kinematics, as well as Finite Element Analysis to predict stress and strain distributions), 3D reconstructions of anatomy (hard and soft tissue to create musculoskeletal models) from CT and MRI data, and uses of additive manufacturing (3D printing) in medicine (3D printed anatomical models used during the planning of complex surgeries, replication of clinical anatomy to test biomedical devices, and 3D printing of patient specific devices). Dr Parr has published peer reviewed scientific journal articles in top ranked journals, and has been an invited speaker at leading international research conferences. He has secured significant competitive government and private competitive merit based funding.
