95 years of discovery
We have been making pioneering discoveries for 95 years. To recognise this milestone, we asked some of our more experienced and emerging researchers, what their earliest inspirations were for pursuing careers in medical science. Here’s what they had to say:
As a young boy, my life goal was to be a doctor. Two things set this in stone, the influence of my father who was Geelong’s first ambulance paramedic, and the medical care provided by our GP when I was bedridden with whooping cough as a seven-year-old. During medical school I enjoyed the science component of the curriculum, and was able to pursue this under the mentorship of Professor Paul Nestel, in a Bachelor of Medical Science year. After graduation and my internship at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, I followed Paul to Canberra for PhD studies in cardiovascular neuroscience, starting my life-long interest in the sympathetic nervous system.

New equipment allows scientists to test life-saving drugs in real time
A new $1.5 million multiphoton microscopy platform is helping Baker Institute scientists with groundbreaking projects to advance precision medicine, develop smarter clot busting drugs, and prevent damage after a heart attack.
The state-of-the-art equipment allows researchers to look at living mouse models to track disease processes and novel treatments in real time.
Microscopy facility manager Dr Adam Parslow said the new platform was a huge success story to come out of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Parts have been brought in from all over the world, a global effort that was difficult due to COVID. Engineers from Europe and Asia would normally complete the installation on-site.
