Dimerix is delighted to announce that A/Prof. Kevin Pfleger, Dimerix’s CSO and Head of Molecular Endocrinology at the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research, has been shortlisted for an Australian Museum Eureka Prize in the category of ‘Emerging Leader in Science’.
This Eureka Prize is awarded to a young scientist who has used their leadership skills to create impact inside their institution, amongst their peers, within their discipline or in the wider community. A/Prof. Kevin Pfleger had been shortlisted because his work is focused on developing better therapeutic drugs with fewer side effects for a range of medical conditions.
The Eureka awards, which are a partnership between government organisations, institutions, companies and individuals committed to celebrating the vitality, originality and excellence of Australian science, are presented annually by the Australian Museum.
The 2011 Eureka Prize winners will be announced on 6 September in Sydney. Further details are available at: http://eureka.australianmuseum.net.au/.
