Kirby Institute Director and Scientia Professor Anthony Kelleher said: “Our staff and students continue to succeed and excel; there were an exceptional number of grants awarded throughout the year."
“We continued to produce the highly impactful research our institute is known for [and] are also involved in a multitude of collaborative partnerships, in Australia and globally, which are addressing infectious disease challenges. It is through respectful multidisciplinary collaboration that the unique needs of communities can be met, and we can mitigate the impact of infectious diseases and improve health overall.”
Kirby Institute Patron Michael Kirby, who also delivered last year’s David Cooper lecture, added: “Heartfelt congratulations to Professor Anthony Kelleher, the Kirby Institute leadership and all its staff and supporters for their success and productive impact in 2023. I am confident that 2024 will be even more successful.”
