Congratulations to our first prize winner Ms Celeste Donato, a PhD Scholar at Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, earning her degree from La Trobe University, under her supervisor A/Prof Carl Kirkwood. The Enteric Virus Research Group that Celeste is a member of investigates viral pathogens and their role in several gastrointestinal diseases important in children, including acute gastroenteritis and Crohn’s disease.
Excited to be awarded the prize, Celeste told ATA Scientific these funds will be used to assist her in attending the 11th International Symposium of double stranded RNA viruses to be held in November 2012.
