Changing the landscape of medical research

It’s time to celebrate the great achievements of our students once more. Australia’s only national medical research school, the John Curtin Medical Research School (JCSMR) of ANU College of Science and Medicine has produced another batch of PhD and Honours graduates this year.
Fifteen PhD and six Honour students completed their academic research which would help change the landscape of medicine today.
Professor Graham Mann, Director of JCSMR hosted the graduation morning tea reception for those passing out with the participation of researchers, supervisors and colleagues.
