Fellowship targets heart disease18 February 2009
Professor Nadia Rosenthal has been awarded a $4 million fellowship to investigate the heart's regenerative capacity in ageing and disease. Professor Rosenthal is the founding director of the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), a $153 million medical research centre due to open at the Clayton campus this year. A joint venture between Monash University and the Victorian Government, ARMI will build on the University's existing strengths in biomedical research, and will support the next generation of discoveries in regenerative medicine. Professor Rosenthal will use the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australia fellowship to pave the way for innovation in the clinical treatment of some of the most devastating chronic health problems in Australia, such as coronary heart disease. Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Edwina Cornish said Professor Rosenthal's fellowship was an exceptional achievement. "Professor Rosenthal was one of twelve researchers to receive this prestigious fellowship," Professor Cornish said. "We are thrilled that she and her team will be conducting such vital research here at Monash." |
