L-R: A/Prof Justin Hamilton with his  PhD student at the time, Shauna French, who is now at Harvard Medical School; A/Prof Nigel Jones with his current PhD student Flavia Gomes; Prof Nicola Harris who became one of CCS's graduate research coordinators in November 2018.

Congratulations to Associate Professor Justin Hamilton on his new adventure as CSL's Director of In vivo Biology. We will all miss you! Professor Terry O'Brien, Head of School, writes:

"It is with mixed feelings that I can inform you that A/Prof. Justin Hamilton has announced that he will be resigning from his academic staff position at the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases (ACBD) to take up a major leadership role in Industry in 2021. While this will be a huge loss for the school, we are pleased for Justin on his exciting appointment and wish him all the best in his new position. 

"On behalf of the School, I extend my most deep thanks to Justin for the outstanding contribution he has made to the school: as a leading research leader in ACBD, as a Honours coordinator for the School for many years, and most recently as one of our Graduate Research (GR) Coordinators. We are delighted that Justin has agreed to remain a member of ACBD and the school as an adjunct from next year, and continue to be involved in the research on thrombosis.

"I am pleased to announce that A/Prof. Nigel Jones has been appointed to take over from Justin as one of our two CCS GR Coordinators, along with Prof. Nicola Harris. Nigel is a neuroscientist and a highly experienced, successful RHD supervisor, and I have no doubt he will do an outstanding job in this important leadership role for our school. Congratulations Nigel on your appointment."
