    The Florey Medal ~ A Legacy of Life

    Sep 30, 2016 5 minutes

    Generously sponsored by CSL, the Florey Medal is one of Australia’s most prestigious science awards, recognising the life’s work of some of Australia’s most remarkable scientists.

    In 2014 AIPS and CSL created the Young Florey Medal. This honour provided a counterpoint to the Florey Medal’s focus on lifetime achievement, by identifying and recognising a young scientist undertaking life-changing research. The second Young Florey Medallist will be awarded this year.

    To celebrate CSL’s ongoing support of innovative research, AQ caught up with three previous Florey Medallists to find out their views on the current research landscape in their various areas of biomedical research and human health advancement.

    Professor Colin Masters, from the University of Melbourne won in 2002 for his work on isolating and characterising the primary pathway causing Alzheimer’s disease. His findings are now the subject of intense worldwide research for diagnosis and drug discovery.

    Professor John Hopwood
