Melbourne Health Research Week 2014 Melbourne Health Research Week 2014 Letter from the Executive Director of Research Research week provides a focus on research where we can reflect on the value of research and celebrate advances in health and sciences. This year’s program promises to have something for everyone. To provide a taste of the diverse research activities at Melbourne Health we invite Professors Jo Douglass, Stephen Holt and Dennis Velakoulis to talk about their respective departments’ activities.
