Brendan Crabb: Falling success rates on medical research grants will eventually reach breaking point
Faced with limited job opportunities, disenchanted young researchers are giving up on careers in science, writes Tim Nielsen, quoting Professor Brendan Crabb, CEO Burnet Institute. The remedy is to invest systematically in Australia's research future: "... for every government dollar invested in medical research, over two dollars is returned in the forms of disease prevention, improved healthcare and technological innovation."

A recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine for which A/Prof Edwina Wright, Department of Infectious Diseases, was a co-author was cited by Dr Tony Fauci, Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), as one of the top scientific highlights made by NIAID-funded

A/Prof Edwina Wright's advocacy for Australian HIV+ patients helps create access to therapy
Congratulations to A/Prof Edwina Wright, Department of Infectious Diseases who successfully chaired a submission to Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) by ASHM, NAPWA and AFAO, following which, the PBAC lifted CD4+ cell
restrictions on prescribing antiretroviral therapy for HIV+ people. This means
that all HIV+ people irrespective of how high their CD4+ cells are, or whether
or not they have symptoms, can access antiretroviral therapy. http://ow.ly/t5TNw
