Research Highlights<br />
In July, the <strong>Institute</strong> celebrated ten years of research. The<br />
centrepiece of the celebration was the Inaugural Castaldi<br />
Oration delivered by 2005 Australian of the year and<br />
Nobel Laureate, Professor Peter Doherty. The oration, was<br />
established to honour former Area Health Service Board<br />
Chairman and WMI Advisory Board Member, Emeritus<br />
Professor Peter Castaldi AO. More than 200 guests attended<br />
the event including the Right Honourable Gough Whitlam<br />
and NSW Health Minister John Hatzistergos.<br />
The <strong>Institute</strong> received more than $14 million in NHMRC<br />
funding during 2006, the largest amount awarded to<br />
any medical research institute in NSW. Thirteen highlycompetitive<br />
grants were awarded to the institute’s diverse<br />
range of projects including research covering diagnosis,<br />
treatment and prevention of liver disease, paediatric eye<br />
disorders, ovarian, breast and colon cancer, renal and kidney<br />
failure, serious viral infection, cardiac arrhythmia and<br />
respiratory disorders including asthma and sleep apnoea.
