Professor Warwick Anderson
Professor (Robert) John Aitken
Professor John Aitken’s research has laid the foundations for our current understanding of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of male infertility and shaped the techniques that are currently being used to diagnose and address this condition. He has also pioneered the use of mass spectrometry to create the first definitive proteomic inventories of spermatozoa, creating […]
Professor Ian Alexander
Professor Alexander has made globally significant contributions to the science of gene transfer and translation through to therapeutic applications in genetic and acquired diseases of childhood. He has played a pioneering role in the establishment of the gene therapy field in Australia, providing leadership in the formation of a specialist society, contributions to regulatory oversight, […]
Professor (Katrina) Katie Allen
Professor Allen’s contribution to medical research over the past 20 years has covered the full spectrum of laboratory, clinical and population health. Her PhD culminated in Australia’s first liver cell transplantation, her postdoctoral work resulted in first author publications in New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet and her seminal work in food allergy is […]
Professor Craig Anderson
Professor Anderson is an international authority on the causes and management of stroke, and other aspects of cardiovascular disease. He conceives and conducts innovative largescale, collaborative, inter-disciplinary, epidemiological and clinical trials.

Professor Vicki Anderson
Professor Anderson is a paediatric neuropsychologist with 30 years clinical experience working with children with brain insult and chronic illness and their families. In 2000 she established the Australian Centre for Child Neuropsychology Studies, which has an international standing, attracting high quality local and international researchers wishing to train in child neuropsychology. She has 271 […]
Professor Nicholas Anstey
Professor Anstey undertakes clinical research in malaria and tuberculosis with partners in the Asia-Pacific. He has identified new mechanisms underlying severe malaria, translating these findings to clinical trials of agents to improve blood supply to vital organs. He has also undertaken clinical trials of drugs to treat all three major species causing malaria in our […]

Dr Glenn Begley
Dr Begley’s research contributions include discovery of key factors controlling normal and malignant cells. His demonstration that stem cells, normally resident in bone marrow, can be enriched in blood and hasten patient recovery has revolutionized transplantation approaches. At Amgen over 25 of his research programs entered clinical trials. His work has impacted the lives of […]
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 Warwick Britton
Professor Warwick Britton is internationally recognised for his contributions to the immunology and control of tuberculosis and leprosy. His studies have examined how the immune system responds to mycobacteria, the development of novel vaccines against TB and leprosy, genetic susceptibility to infection and identification of TB drug targets. He leads the NHMRC Centre of Research […]
