Professor Michelle Haber
Professor Michelle Haber is a world leader in the field of childhood cancer research. She has made fundamental discoveries in the area of drug resistance in neuroblastoma which have had major impact on the global research community. She has translated these discoveries into new therapeutics that are currently being clinically tested and has developed into […]
Professor Jamie Vandenberg
Jamie Vandenberg is an international authority on cardiac ion channels and has made breakthrough discoveries in understanding how these channels work and how drugs interact with these channels; contributing significantly to our understanding of the molecular basis of cardiac arrhythmias. In recognition of his expertise in this area he has been invited to sit on […]
Professor Patrick Tam
Patrick Tam is a world leader in the study of mammalian development and his scientific achievement has put Australia on the global map of developmental biology. He pioneered the application of experimental embryology and genome editing to elucidate the cellular and molecular architecture of the basic body plan. His work has contributed to the construction […]

Professor Robert (John) Simes
Professor John Simes has a long, distinguished career in clinical trials research, playing a lead role in many major clinical trials impacting on future global clinical practice. As Director of the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre he has co-led a team of researchers collaborating on over 100 multicentre trials and 70,000 patients. He is also Director […]
Professor Christopher Semsarian
As a clinician scientist, understanding the genetic basis of cardiovascular disease has been the cornerstone of my research endeavours. Using an integrated translational approach in human families, murine models, and cell culture systems, my research has elucidated the genetic causes of cardiomyopathies and sudden death, identified key signalling pathways involved in development of disease, and […]
