-	Charles’s research in human genetics has included identifiying gene-environment interactions in the aetiology of neural tube defects and conducting gene frequency and linkage studies for X-linked mutations. His public health research has focused on two main areas: environmental health issues and the adverse health effects of unemployment, including the association between unemployment at youth suicide. He has also published papers concerned with the health of aboriginal people, the homeless, immigrants, people with handicaps and the aged.	+	Charles’s research in human genetics has included identifiying gene-environment interactions in the aetiology of neural tube defects and conducting gene frequency and linkage studies for X-linked mutations.

	Charles was responsible for the reconstruction of the Diploma of Public Health in 1969 and in 1978, was involved in designing and introducing the Master of Public Health program to the University of Sydney, the first of its kind in Australia. The program was to be open to all suitable graduates, rather than only to graduates of medicine as the former Diploma of Public Health had been. Charles also led the major revision of the Master of Public Health degree that occurred in 1988 and has been pivotal in guiding the Faculty through the major changes in postgraduate education that have occurred in Australia over the past 30 years.

	From 1975 to 1976 Kerr was a commissioner on the Ranger Uranium Enviromental Inquiry, whose report formed the basis of subsequent federal government policy on the mining, milling and export of uranium. He also chaired the Expert Committee on the Review of Data on Atmosphere Fallout Arising from British Nuclear Tests in Australia in 1984. This report formed the basis of the Australian government’s decision to establish the Royal Commission on British Nuclear Tests in Australia.
