NHMRC honour
Professor Chris Semsarian is one of 10 researchers that have been honoured in a new publication to highlight the life-saving work conducted by Australia's top researchers.

Professor Semsarian, Head of Molecular Cardiology at the Centenary Institute, has been profiled for his work into the most common genetic heart disorder - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - that has lead to new strategies to improve diagnosis and prevent sudden death in young patients with this often fatal condition.

The 10 of the Best Research Projects 2010 by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) was launched by the Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Mark Butler. The publication profiles diverse areas of internationally recognised medical research that have lead to changes in treatment and practice to improve health outcomes and save lives. The Australian Government's NHMRC invests $700 million annually in health and medical research and this booklet demonstrates the benefits of research resulting from this critical public investment.
