  • Melbourne Health Research Week 2015 Letter from the Executive Director of Research Welcome to Research Week 2015
    Melbourne Health Research28 May – 4 June 2015Week Melbourne Health Research Week 2015 Letter from the Executive Director of Research Welcome to Research Week 2015. In this increasingly popular annual event we showcase the advances in health and medical research described through exploration of the research question. This year’s program provides a sample of the abundant number of Melbourne Health research activities. Dr Leonie Walsh, Lead Scientist for Victoria, will open the event at the opening plenary session on Thursday 28 May. Titled “A Brain Storm – RMH Neuroscience Newsmakers”, this session focuses on one of Melbourne Health’s strengths. Each of the three presenters, Helmut Butzkueven, Mark Walterfang and Bruce Campbell, are leaders in their disciplines and we take this opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding recent highlights of their work. Activities continue throughout the week with a range of research education and information sessions. The research symposium will have parallel sessions of original research, along with poster viewing, and we encourage you to attend these events to learn more about our research, and support those presenting their work. This year we will host a hypothetical “Developing new therapies: Pipelines or Pipedreams?” which promises to be enlightening and entertaining. The closing plenary on 4 June will showcase the cardiology research at MH, to be presented by Tomos Walters, followed by our prize-giving session. I would like to thank the efforts of those involved in reviewing abstracts and posters and the session chairs during Research Week. Your time and expertise is greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank the Research Week Committee for compiling an exciting program and for all the work that goes into making this event such a success.
