    THE JOHN CURTIN SCHOOL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH Annual Review 2005 Health Through Discovery Introduction Researchers in The John Curtin School of Medical Research at The Australian National University continue to strive towards Howard Florey’s vision – of a national medical research school undertaking superlative medical research in fundamental areas. Opened in 1958, the School has almost 50 years of prize winning research, including three Nobel Prize medals in Physiology or Medicine, The Japan Prize, The Copley Medal, and The Prime Minister’s Prize for Science. The School is organised into three major research divisions, Molecular Bioscience, Immunology and Genetics, and Neuroscience, each comprised of independent groups and laboratories. The High Blood Pressure Research Unit is headed by the School’s Director. A unique feature and major strength of JCSMR is the diverse nature of the research programs, including genomics, immunity, gene regulation and cell signalling, neuroscience and integrative physiology. These areas benefit enormously from the potential for mutual interaction and collaboration across Divisions, enabling the School to make important contributions to the understanding of many diseases, including diabetes, cancer, asthma and high blood pressure, infectious disease, hearing, vision and memory. We are committed to training medical researchers of the future, with students drawn from Australia and overseas. Many of our postgraduate students are carrying out research directed towards a PhD degree; however JCSMR also shares supervision of Honours students with the ANU Faculties and other institutions. 1 Table of Contents JCSMR 2005 JCSMR 2005 From the Director Introduction to The John Curtin School of Medical Research It gives me great pleasure to present The John Curtin School of Medical Research Annual From the Director .
