We would like to congratulate Professor Chris Little who has received a highly coveted award for his outstanding commitment to orthopaedic research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Little has been elected a Fellow of International Orthopaedic Research at a key international conference in Edinburgh Scotland. The award is only presented every three years, with around 20 people across the globe receiving the accolade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fellows are recognised for their leadership, service, achievement and dedication to the field of orthopaedic research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris has welcomed the recognition, while acknowledging the support he\u2019s received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI am very proud to have been made a Fellow of International Orthopaedic Research,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile I have received the award, it\u2019s actually a reflection of the wonderful work that has been done by all the researchers in my group over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is an honour to be nominated by one of the International Combined Orthopaedic Research Societies (ICORS) \u2013 and in my case, the US Orthopaedic Research Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cICORS member organisations are represented across the world. They have a crucial role advancing orthopaedic and musculoskeletal research by promoting basic, translational, and clinical research worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is an important part of progressing valuable research across the globe and improving long-term health outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Chris was presented with the award by ICORS president Gun-Il Im and FIOR Chair Brian Johnstone, who thanked him for his outstanding leadership and dedication to orthopaedic and musculoskeletal research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris has a clinical and research career spanning more than three decades. He is the Director of the Raymond Purves Bone and Joint Research Lab at the Kolling Institute and a member of the Charles Perkins Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris is a qualified veterinarian with specialist surgery training. His research focuses on defining the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of joint pathology in osteoarthritis, as well as tendon and intervertebral disc degeneration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2100,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"research-group-tax":[],"primary-research-area":[],"class_list":["post-2099","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/thumb_Blog_Prof-Chris-Little-conference_w550_h380_fcrop.webp",550,380,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/thumb_Blog_Prof-Chris-Little-conference_w550_h380_fcrop-150x150.webp",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/thumb_Blog_Prof-Chris-Little-conference_w550_h380_fcrop-300x207.webp",300,207,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/thumb_Blog_Prof-Chris-Little-conference_w550_h380_fcrop.webp",550,380,false],"large":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/thumb_Blog_Prof-Chris-Little-conference_w550_h380_fcrop.webp",550,380,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/thumb_Blog_Prof-Chris-Little-conference_w550_h380_fcrop.webp",550,380,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/thumb_Blog_Prof-Chris-Little-conference_w550_h380_fcrop.webp",550,380,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"ict-wordpress-support@sydney.edu.au","author_link":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/staging\/author\/ict-wordpress-supportsydney-edu-au\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"We would like to congratulate Professor Chris Little who has received a highly coveted award for his outstanding commitment to orthopaedic research.
