Richard Richards
Image Description
Richard Richards is the world leader in the use of physiological traits in the breeding of crop plants. The approach developed by him is now being used widely internationally. It integrates physiological understanding of what determines grain yield in drought-prone environments with the understanding of the molecular and genetic bases of influential physiological traits. It has therefore enabled a much more effective, targeted use to be made of bioinformatics in breeding crops for such environments, and has resulted in the release of several radically new varieties of wheat.

Fiona Stanley
Image Description
Professor Stanley is a world leader in perinatal epidemiology. She pioneered linking obstetric and child health records to measure disease burden and study causal pathways. Her demonstration of protection against neural tube defects by dietary folate in pregnancy depended on them. She has used them to study the causes of cerebral palsies and showed, contrary to opinions of the day, that pathways via birth asphyxia were rare and that most cerebral palsy has its origin early in gestation. Her studies of pre-term birth and low birth weight have shown important inter-generational effects and led to new ways of thinking about and analysing cause in epidemiology.

Professor Fiona Stanley, epidemiologist

Fiona Stanley, born in Sydney in 1946, earned her medical degree from the University of Western Australia and later specialized in epidemiology and public health through advanced studies in London. She became a leading figure in child health research, serving as director of the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research and professor of paediatrics at UWA from 1990 onward. Interviewed by Dr Norman Swan in 2000.

Jenefer Blackwell
Image Description
Professor Jenefer Blackwell is distinguished for her scientific achievements in the study of host susceptibility and resistance to infectious diseases. For more than three decades she has undertaken research on neglected tropical diseases, including leishmaniasis, a disease caused by protozoan parasites which infects about 2 million people and kills tens of thousands every year. Through genome-wide analysis, Jenefer discovered that genetic risk for visceral leishmaniasis lies at the heart of eliciting T cell immunity, facilitating innovate genome-based approaches to develop vaccines effective in at-risk individuals.
