"Cancer, Inflammation and the AT1 and AT2 receptors", "Angiotensin and Systems Thinking - Wrapping your mind around the big picture", Architectural Parallels between engineered and biological defence and Security". Most recently he was a coauthor of a paper in frontiers of medicine - "The Lung, the Heart, the Novel Coronavirus, and the Renin-Angiotensin System; The Need for Clinical Trials".
Together with Brigitte Daniel Allegro, Gary published "Exploring the branches of the system landscape" - the branches being the attitudes of the systems thinker, and the roots being the system concepts that they think about.

Is currently helping to establish an architecture for system science, to facilitate a shared orientation to establish a learning system for our knowledge about systems and knowledge about how we engage with systems.
