President and Vice-Chancellor of UNSW Sydney, Professor Ian Jacobs, has announced today that the Kirby Institute’s Professor Anthony Kelleher will be taking on the role of Acting Dean of the Faculty of Medicine from July 10, 2017.
The current dean Professor Rodney Phillips is on extended absence and Professor Kelleher will be filling the leadership role until Professor Phillips returns at the end of 2017.
“Professor Kelleher’s stellar research career, his leadership in the strategic review of the Infection, Immunity and Inflammation theme, his important contribution to the Sydney Partnership for Health, Education, Research and Enterprise (SPHERE), and his extensive clinical experience makes him well placed to lead the Faculty during this critical time,” said Professor Jacobs.
The Kirby Institute wishes Professor Kelleher all the best in his new role.
