Congratulations to research fellow Dr Lisa Kouladjian O\u2019Donnell who has received a prestigious award for her contribution to pharmacology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lisa was presented with the ASCEPT Early Achievement Award for Women during the annual meeting of the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year\u2019s event was held in Perth in collaboration with the Australasian Pharmaceutical Sciences Association. For the first time in three years, it attracted clinicians and researchers from across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lisa\u2019s award is a highly coveted accolade \u2013 designed to recognise significant achievement in research in pharmacology or toxicology. It was established to foster gender equality across the field and in future leadership roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The University of Sydney\u2019s Emeritus Professor Graham Johnston and Associate Professor Tina Hinton were instrumental is establishing the award, convinced of the need to achieve greater gender equity in pharmacology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lisa has welcomed the special award, saying it is a tremendous honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m very humbled to receive this award. I\u2019m supported by many women in pharmacology and receiving this award also recognises their achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
As part of the Kolling Institute\u2019s Laboratory of Ageing and Pharmacology, Lisa drives research to improve the quality use of medicines in older adults. She specifically helps develop digital health interventions to identify high risk medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her main project involves the development and implementation of the Goal-directed Medication review Electronic Decision Support System known as G-MEDSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
