Annual Review 2014 3
It is our great pleasure to share the achievements and activities
of the John curtin school of Medical Research for 2014. A
companion volume, Research Highlights, describing some of our
current research projects, will be posted in December 2015.
I joined the school as Director in october 2014, and I would like
to thank my predecessor, Professor chris Parish, for stepping
into the role of Director in April 2013, and for his leadership of the
school. In 2014, chris was honoured with the title Act citizen of
the Year, and received the chancellor’s Award for Distinguished
contribution to the University. He is to be congratulated for these
stellar achievements, and thanked by all of us for his enduring
dedication to JcsMR.
Many other JcsMR staff and students received honours and
awards during 2014, recognizing the commitment they bring to
their research and teaching practices. In particular I would like
to congratulate Professor carola Vinuesa, who was awarded
the inaugural csL Young Florey Medal for her research in
the immune system and the production of disease fighting
antibodies, and Professor thomas Preiss on the award of the
Julian Wells Medal at the Lorne Genome conference.
JcsMR saw a number of new initiatives come to realization
in 2014. In February we launched the national centre for
Indigenous Genomics, which aims to establish a national
resource, under Indigenous governance, for appropriate and
respectful genetic and genomic research that will benefit
Indigenous Australians, and in April, in conjunction with World
Day of Immunology, we launched the centre for Personalized
Immunology, which aims to help people with immune diseases
by discovering individual genetic variations with the ultimate goal
of targeting treatments more effectively.
the JcsMR Gender equity committee successfully brought
about the establishment and award of the inaugural Judith
Whitworth Fellowship in 2014. this Fellowship, named in honour
of previous JcsMR Director Professor Judith Whitworth, and
supported by JcsMR and the John curtin Medical Research
Foundation has been established to support the return to work
of a young scientist who has experienced a break in their
research career due to maternity or parental leave. We are very
proud of this initiative, and trust that it will allow recipients to re-
establish scientific projects, strengthen track record and regain
national and international competitiveness when applying for
independent external research funding.
I hope that you will enjoy reading about the recent successes
of the school, and look forward to presenting the companion
Research Highlights.

the Judith Whitworth Fellowship for Gender equity in science was launched at JcsMR in April. the inaugural Fellowship was awarded to Dr Julia ellyard in november.
the Fellowship has been established to support a young scientist who has experienced a break in their research career due to maternity or parental leave and will provide up to two years of salary and research support. It is envisaged that this will allow the recipient to re-establish scientific projects, strengthen track record and regain national and international competitiveness when applying for independent external research funding.
the Fellowship, named in honour of emerita Professor Judith Whitworth, past director of the JcsMR, and supported by JcsMR and the John curtin Medical Research Foundation is believed to be the of its kind to be established at an Australian University.

nobel Laureate Professor J Robin Warren provided fascinating insights into his work when interviewed by Mr Ken Begg at the 2nd Annual Dinner of the the John curtin Medical Research Foundation in August.
Held at University House, the Dinner was a huge success, and included raffles, silent auctions and entertainment. thanks to generous supporters the John James Foundation and Mr Ron and Mrs Janice Parker, funds were donated at the dinner to finalise the purchase of an intravital microscope to be used in research projects on cancer, malaria prevention and the study of autoimmune diseases at AnU.

Assistant Minister for Health, senator Fiona nash, launched the centre for Personalised Immunology at JcsMR by on Monday 28 April, 2014.
the principal objective of the centre for Personalised Immunology is to understand pathophysiological pathways in patients presenting with immunological disease, in order to make diagnoses more accurate, and treatment more effective.
the centre aims to help people with immune diseases by discovering causative genetic variation, with the goal of delivering treatment strategies targeted to the individual.

the Australian national University and the Act Government announced the appointment of distinguished medical researcher Professor Ross Hannan as the inaugural centenary chair in cancer Research in november 2014.
the centenary chair is a new position, focused on researching new treatments for cancer patients and fostering collaboration between canberra medical specialists and scientists at the John curtin school of Medical Research and across AnU.
the centenary chair is a joint project of AnU and the Act Government, established to celebrate the centenary of canberra, which took place in 2013. the Act Government provided $1.5 million to help fund the position.

tHe JoHn cURtIn MeDIcAL ReseARcH FoUnDAtIon – RePoRt to DonoRs 2014
our thanks go to those who have so generously supported the John curtin Medical Research Foundation at AnU during 2014
2014 was a very successful year for the John curtin Medical Research Foundation, with many goals achieved.
the highlight of the year was our second Annual Dinner, at which nobel Laureate Professor Robin Warren was our special guest. nearly 200 attendees heard Professor discuss the science that led to his and Professor Barry Marshall’s discovery of the Helicobacter pylori as the cause of peptic ulcers.
the 2nd Annual Dinner also saw the Foundation achieve its goal of purchasing a $1.2M intra-vital microscope for the John curtin school of Medical Research, thanks to generous donations on the night from the John James Foundation, and Janice and Ron Parker. the Board is very grateful for all the donations it has received over the past two years culminating in this purchase.
We were also able to produce three high quality newsletters throughout 2014, which highlighted the excellence of medical research at AnU. I would particularly like to thank Ken Begg, Dr Peter Jeffrey and Dr Madeleine nicol for their superb efforts in producing the newsletter, which was very favorably received by the public at large.
Another 2014 highlight for the Foundation was the announcement that Professor Ross Hannan had been appointed as the first centenary chair of cancer Research at the John curtin
school of Medical Research. the Foundation played a very significant role in achieving $1.5M in support from the Act Government to partner with AnU in this appointment.
In February 2014 the national centre for Indigenous Genomics was launched at JcsMR. the canberra Medical society, which has been involved in Indigenous health projects for over a decade, donated $34,000 to support the ncIG and their important work. the cMs, in conjunction with JcMRF will host “sunday Dreaming” on the grounds of Government House in May 2015, in order to raise further funds and increase awareness about the work of the ncIG.
the Foundation has greatly enjoyed engaging with all those donors who have supported our projects, and medical research at AnU throughout 2014.
I would like to thank each of those donors on behalf of the Board for their passion for life changing medical research, and their generosity.
