John Hamilton
Image Description
John Hamilton has made significant molecular and translational contributions to the field of inflammation. He has shown how colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) control macrophage lineage numbers and function in inflammation, mainly in the contexts of arthritic disease and inflammation-associated pain. He discovered the role of CSFs in inflammation, pioneered cell signalling studies for the CSFs, and progressed the biology of the CSFs to encourage and facilitate several successful international clinical trials with antagonists to granulocyte-macrophage CSFs in arthritis and asthma.

Surinder Singh
Image Description
Surinder Singh has pioneered the successful genetic modification of fatty acid composition in the seeds of canola so that they produce large amounts of the long-chain omega-3 oils that are essential for human health, and which, to date, have been available predominantly from unsustainable marine sources. He has also modified safflower oil for industrial applications and the fatty acid metabolism in the leaves of certain crops to produce large amounts of valuable oils that are useful for food and industrial applications.

Paul Hodges
Image Description
Paul Hodges is a world leader in motor control and pain. His unique approach, from single cells to whole humans, has made fundamental shifts in our understanding of why people move differently in pain. He was the first to show modified neural control of muscles in back pain and to uncover molecular mechanisms, resolving a decades-long debate regarding muscle changes after injury. His work has transformed our understanding of diverse conditions, from control of urinary continence to progression of osteoarthritis. His discoveries have improved outcomes for people in pain, particularly back pain - the leading cause of disability internationally.

Maria Makrides is an international leader in maternal–infant nutrition, with a focus on optimising the cognition, growth and immune development of children. She is especially recognised for her rigorous nutritional intervention studies during the first 1000 days of life—between conception and a child’s second birthday. Her multidisciplinary research group conducts large-scale randomised controlled trials to investigate the health effects of dietary fatty acids, iron, iodine and novel dietary ingredients. She has made major contributions to changes in the composition of infant formulae, on changing international food laws and on setting specific nutrient recommendations worldwide.

Professor

Debra Bernhardt

FAA

Debra Bernhardt
Image Description
Debra Bernhardt (nee Searles) is a world leader in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. She is widely known for the first rigorous derivation of a fluctuation relation, known as the Evans–Searles Fluctuation Theorem, showing the second law of thermodynamics can be derived mathematically rather than just postulated as a law of nature. The theorem has broad implications for the behaviour of small systems where fluctuations become pronounced. Debra has also made significant contributions to theoretical computational chemistry, including combining quantum chemistry and molecular simulation, as well as the calculation of transport properties of materials.

David McClelland

David McClelland
Image Description
In 2016, the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves, opening up a new window for astronomy and cosmology. David McClelland was a vital contributor to this success as Australia’s leading audio-band gravitational wave scientist and Chair of the Instrument Science/Advanced Detector program in the 1000-strong LIGO Scientific Collaboration. He led the ANU team that played a crucial role in designing, installing and commissioning Advanced LIGO’s acquisition system, which brings the interferometers into operation. His pioneering quantum science experiments that beat the previous low-frequency limit for squeezing light by three orders of magnitude were also essential for improving gravitational wave detection sensitivity.
