Rodney James Lane

Professor Rodney Lane is a Senior Vascular Surgeon at Royal North Shore Hospital. He is also at Sydney Adventist Hospital and Macquarie University Hospital. He holds the Chair of Vascular Research at Macquarie University in Sydney.

Professor Lane has been involved in numerous vascular research projects over the past 25 plus years, with the majority focussing on novel Bioengineering approaches. His highlights include, Doctorate – Venous Valve repairs, Master of Bioengineering – Aortic Endoprosthesis and Master of Surgery – Ultrasonic Transducer Design.

In 2005 Professor Lane developed the IP for AllVascular's AVAS® - Arterial Access System in the hope to improve non-invasive control of blood flow to organs and limbs. Essentially his goal with the AVAS was to provide the same level of control as in open surgery but through a non-invasive platform.

Professor Lane is the Chief Scientific Officer at AllVascular and continues to improve on the AVAS, ancillary devices and patent portfolio. Over the past seven years his focus with the AVAS has been directed at investigating the nature of blood and lymphatic supply to solid tumours and how it can be manipulated mechanically to improve therapeutic outcomes in cancer patients.
