Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery’s (GRIDD) Director Professor Jennifer Martin is the second woman to receive the prestigious Wunderly Oration Medal in its 27 year history for her work promoting women in science.
Professor Martin was awarded the medal when she delivered the oration at the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) Annual Scientific Meeting in Canberra this week.
Professor Martin was invited to speak at TSANZ on the value of gender equity in scientific research globally.
The Wunderly Oration honours the memory of Sir Harry Wyatt Wunderly, the first Commonwealth Director of Tuberculosis, and has been presented at TSANZ meetings since 1988.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be the 2017 Wunderly Orator and to be recognised outside my own field for my achievements,” Professor Martin said.
