CAI’s Director, Professor David Reutens, has been elected to the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences in recognition of distinguished professional achievements and outstanding leadership in health and medicine.
New Fellows were admitted at the Academy’s annual meeting in Perth, two weeks ago, and were drawn from a diverse range of fields in the clinical and biomedical sciences, including infectious diseases, epidemiology and mental health, through to biomedical engineering, health economics and Indigenous health and wellbeing.
Professor Reutens said that he was honoured to be elected to the Academy.
“It’s an honour that I share with the mentors and colleagues and the talented students, post-docs and collaborators that I have worked with at UQ and elsewhere,” Professor Reutens said.
“The ‘state-of-the-art' scanners at CAI and the great scientists who operate them enable my research.”
The Academy’s outgoing President, Professor Ian Frazer AC, was delighted to welcome forty outstanding researchers to the Academy’s Fellowship this year.
“This new group of Fellows demonstrates our Academy’s commitment to ensuring diversity of gender, professional discipline, geography and culture within the Fellowship,” he said.
