Professor Samuel Berkovic
Professor Sam Berkovic’s early work was in neuroimaging where he was a pioneer in applying new brain imaging methods such as MRI to epilepsy. This rapidly entered routine clinical use and remains so today. Later, he turned to genetics and together with Ingrid Scheffer and molecular genetic collaborators, they discovered the first epilepsy gene in […]
Professor Douglas Hilton
Professor Douglas Hilton is an expert in the field of molecular regulation of blood cell production and cytokine signal transduction. His creative discovery spans four distinct areas of molecular haematology: leukaemia inhibitory factor, cytokine receptor family, suppressors of cytokine signalling, and identification of haematopoietic regulators through a large-scale forward mutagenesis screen. He has applied these […]
Professor Jeffrey Rosenfeld
Professor Jeffrey Rosenfeld is an Australian and international leader in neurosurgery and military surgery. He has conducted seminal research in brain and spine injury, paediatric epilepsy, stem cell applications and bionic vision. He is Founding Director of the Monash Institute of Medical Engineering (MIME) and is a champion of interdisciplinary research. He is Professor of […]
Professor Graham Brown
Professor Brown is a clinical academic with a distinguished research record in malaria and clinical infectious diseases. His substantial contribution to understanding immunity to malaria in humans includes specific discoveries related to the cellular and genetic mechanisms by which malariainfected red cells cause illness by sticking in blood vessels, or escape immunity by changing molecules […]
Professor Stephen Jane
Professor Stephen Jane is Head of Central Clinical School, Professor of Medicine, Monash University, Director of Research, Alfred Health and Acting Head of Clinical Haematology and The Australian Centre for Blood Diseases. He was previously a Principal Research Fellow of the NHMRC, Professor of Medicine, University of Melbourne and Director of the Bone Marrow Research […]
Professor Ingrid Scheffer
Professor Ingrid Scheffer is a physician-scientist whose work as a paediatric neurologist and epileptologist at the University of Melbourne and Florey Institute has led the field of epilepsy genetics over more than 20 years, in collaboration with Professor Samuel Berkovic and molecular geneticists. This resulted in identification of the first epilepsy gene and many more […]
