About me

After graduating with a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1977, I was an Overseas Research Fellow of the Royal Society in Rome, Italy (1977-1978), a Research Fellow at New Hall, Cambridge (1978-1981) and a Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow at James Cook University of North Queensland (1983-1985). I have worked in the UK pharmaceutical industry (Smith Kline Beecham) and previously held a lecturing position at The University of Wollongong (1986-1990). I joined The University of Queensland in 1990 and was appointed to a professorship in 2006. I was Deputy Head of School 2005-2009 and retired from my formal teaching and research role in 2020.

I have held leadership positions within the Royal Australian Chemical Institute as the first female President of the Queensland branch (1996-1997), and as Chair of the International Relations Committee (1996-2004).  My contributions within the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the global body representing chemistry, have included membership of Division III (organic and biomolecular) since 2006, including as Division President (2014-2015), and as an elected Member of the IUPAC Bureau (2018-2021). I am currently Vice-President/President-elect for 2024-2025, and will assume the Presidency of IUPAC for the 2026-2027 biennium.

The marine flatworm Maritigrella marygarsonae is named in my honour. In 2024, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute named its award for mid-career researchers in organic chemistry as the Mary Garson Medal.

Research focus and collaborations

My research explores the chemistry and natural bioactivity of secondary metabolites from both the marine and terrestrial environment. A key area of interest are the biosynthetic processes by which terpene metabolites are formed in marine sponges, and particularly in the role of inorganic cyanide and thiocyanate in the generation of the isocyano and isothiocyanato motif found in a number of these metabolites. We have also explored the chemistry and chemical ecology of bioactive 3 alkylpiperidine metabolites from marine sponges, and the chemistry of nudibranchs, notably those from the genera Phyllidiella and Chromodoris, that associate with sponges. An additional interest has been the structure elucidation of metabolites from marine fungi and bacteria. Research into the chemistry of medicinal plants is carried out in collaboration with colleagues from South East Asia.

Reflections on my teaching and research

My last year of teaching (2020) was dominated by Zoom sessions, but this online format was very suitable for the problem-based classes on NMR spectroscopy. Using an electronic whiteboard, I could easily work with the students on solving NMR datasets.

Over more than 30 years of teaching, technology has shifted from talk and chalk (hampered by chalk dust under my contact lenses on more than one occasion) to hand-written transparencies on an overhead projector to Powerpoint and finally to Zoom.  During that time, I have taught science students, medical and pharmacy students, and even the very last generation of engineering students to take CHEM1010. It is quite likely that I taught chemistry to more than ten thousand undergraduates.

During my time at UQ, I undertook 25 research-based expeditions to Heron Island Research Station, and two expeditions to Lizard Island Research Station. In recent years, research diving activities have been based on the Sunshine Coast, with field work at the Gneerings Reef and at Mudjimba Island. In all I completed over 300 research-related dives while an active UQ staff member. I am honoured that the marine flatworm Maritigrella marygarsonae is named after me; I was the first person to collect this new species of flatworm.

Activity since retiring

I have been writing manuscripts and completing the supervision of my final HDR students. I participate in research meetings and attend SCMB functions.

I was the inaugural chair of the IUPAC Committee for Ethics, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion during the 2022-2023 biennium. From January 2024 onwards, I am Vice-President/President-Elect of IUPAC and a Member of its Executive Board. I also chair the Science Board.
