Professor Bartlett previously headed the Neuroscience division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne.

In 2001, his laboratory's work verifying the existence of adult brain stem cells was featured on the front cover of the prestigious journal, Nature.

In October 2002, Professor Bartlett and colleagues in Melbourne made a world-first discovery of a mechanism that may stimulate the production of new nerve cells in the brain.

As a result Professor Bartlett was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy and the awarding of the highly prestigious ARC Federation Fellowship.
