Rate My Professor Paul Ellery

Dr Paul Ellery serves as Senior Lecturer in the Curtin School of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences within the Faculty of Health Sciences at Curtin University. He also holds the position of Director of Student Experience at Curtin Medical School. Ellery has been affiliated with Curtin University for over two decades, contributing to teaching in pathology and biomedical sciences. He holds a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Curtin University, earned following his BSc (Hons) in Medical Science from the same institution. His teaching includes units such as PATH2001 Foundations of Pathology.

Ellery's research encompasses haemostasis, coagulation mechanisms, and innovative technologies for medical education. Key publications include 'Reduced prothrombinase inhibition by tissue factor pathway inhibitor' (espace.curtin.edu.au, associated with American Society of Hematology presentation in 2013), 'Elevated Plasma Factor IXa Activity in Premenopausal Women on Combined Oral Contraceptives' published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology (2017), 'A workflow for the creation of photorealistic 3D cadaveric models using photogrammetry' in the Journal of Anatomy (2023), 'Does decreasing the incubation period used in the antibody screen affect its sensitivity?' in Transfusion Medicine (2023), 'Using design thinking to create and implement a 3D digital library of anatomical specimens' in Clinical Anatomy (2024), and 'Student perceptions of photogrammetric 3D cardiac models generated by use of a smartphone and photogrammetry software' (2025). He received a $5,000 Clinical or Research Laboratory Grant from the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists (AIMS) to refine a virtual microscopy system for undergraduate pathology education. Ellery's contributions advance understanding of blood coagulation pathways and enhance anatomical education through digital 3D modeling and virtual tools, supporting student learning in health sciences disciplines.
