Congratulations to the Kolling\u2019s Dr Ryan Davis following his appointment as president-elect of the Australian Society for Medical Research. (ASMR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Davis is part of the Neurogenetics team, driving research into mitochondrial diseases and Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His work bridges basic and clinical research, while he also supports the Neurogenetics Clinic at Royal North Shore Hospital to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenetic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Davis has welcomed his new role, saying it\u2019s a privilege to be leading the society in its 60th year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cASMR is a strong advocate for health and medical research in Australia, with a long history of support for researchers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe current pandemic has highlighted the need for advocacy, given the impact of COVID-19 on the sector, research jobs, and capacity across Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is a clear need for greater investment in the basic discovery research pipeline, as well as for the health and medical research sector generally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDespite the challenges we\u2019ve faced this year, it\u2019s an opportune time for the sector to come together to highlight the benefits of a strong health and medical research sector, from a better economy to broad health and social benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m optimistic that by strengthening our advocacy through a collective voice, we can deliver greater support and financial backing to the health and medical research sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
