Warren Haynes Fellowship
The Foundation is proud to support this prestigious neuroscience research fellowship.
Named after the late Warren Wilton Haynes (1939 – 97), a founding Trustee of the Foundation and former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ICI Australia, now Orica, the fellowship provides select clinical researchers the opportunity to undertake a substantial research program at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, in conjunction with a professional clinical career within the neurosciences.
Fellowships are offered to those with a major interest in an academic and clinical career in the neurosciences and on the basis fellows complete one major clinical or science project, as supervised by members of the Departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology.
Hear from fellowship recipient Heidi McAlpine whose research focuses on glioma.
