Congratulations to Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology researchers Associate Professor Brett Manley, Associate Professor Louise Owen & Professor Stephen Tong who each were recipients of the 2022 NHMRC Investigator Grants.

The NHMRC Investigator grants provide a 5-year fellowship and research support for outstanding researchers at all career stages. Melbourne Medical Scholl was awarded eight grants totalling more than $13.8 million. To have 3 of these grants awarded within the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology is a wonderful achievement and testament to our small but mighty Department.
