Alfred Research Alliance video showcase 2021

The Alfred Research Alliance precinct is home to more than 1500 researchers and 1100 postgraduate students, all committed to solving some of the biggest health challenges of our time.

To celebrate Alfred Health Week, we asked 20 of them, including CCS's Matt Snelson (Diabetes), Narelle Cox (Respiratory Research@Alfred), Emily Edwards (Immunology and Pathology), Tiffany Phillips (Melbourne Sexual Health Centre), Jason Palazzolo (Australian Centre for Blood Diseases), Julia Sewell (Medical Education) and more to tell us a little bit more about their research, and how it will improve health outcomes for all Australians. Check out their videos!
