Recognition for health advocate
Professor Helena Teede

Professor Helena Teede has been recognised by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for her outstanding contribution to key national health priority areas.

The award is recognition of Professor Teede's role in improving women’s health by focusing on prevention.

Director of Research at the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women's Health, Professor Teede's research focuses on the prevention of chronic disease, insulin resistance, diabetes and heart disease. Her research team also focused on mid-life health and menopause.

Professor Teede said she was passionate about the health of the community through prevention of disease and best practice in clinical management.

"We look forward to continuing to contribute to improved health outcomes for Australians through leading-edge research, best practice clinical care and practical health education opportunities," Professor Teede said.
