The Woolcock Institute of Medical Research
From the desk of Professor Paul Foster
The Woolcock's Executive Director, Professor Paul Foster’s way of approaching his work stems from his time working with Professor Michael Denborough at the John Curtin School of Medicine at ANU, an important mentor.
“His influence on my career was profound because he was a humanist and he taught me not just about science, but about life and life processes. Science should always be about promoting the health and wealth of individuals. That’s why most people do science. Then science runs into medicine and medicine produces a much better, healthier community.”
Professor Foster, in turn, has been a mentor to many others – graduating 33 PhD students and is looking forward to working to nurture the next generation of researchers at the Woolcock.
