HRI honours Blackmores
November 15, 2013
Last Friday evening the Heart
Research Institute (HRI) Director
Professor Mike Davies presented
a Major Sponsorship Award
to Blackmores CEO Christine
Holgate (pictured) to honour
the company’s 20 year support
of the Institute and its role in
helping to raise $7m for heart
research.
Prof Davies said: “Over the
past 20 years, Blackmores has
supported us so generously in
our shared mission to detect,
prevent and reverse heart disease.
“For this we are exceedingly
grateful and extremely proud.
“Blackmores was founded on
the principles of naturopathy
and it is interesting to note how
comfortably this traditional
approach to medicine is aligned
with the ground breaking science
that emanates from the esteemed
HRI research team.”
In recognition of Blackmores’
commitment to heart research,
the HRI recently established the
Marcus Blackmore Fellowships
which support UK and European
scientists with the opportunity to
work at the HRI.
Recently, Carmine Gentile, a
Marcus Blackmore Foundation
Fellow was awarded the Most
Outstanding Oral Presentation at
the 2013 meeting of the Australian
Vascular Biology Society (AVBS).
Other award presentations in
different categories were made to
Luke Carroll for the Inflammation
Group, George Degendorfer
and Dr Jihan Talib for the Free
Radical Group, Gloria Yuen for the
Translational Research Group and
the Blackmores Young Achiever
Award went to Zoe Clayton working
with the Cell Therapeutics Group.
