Birthday honour for Deputy VC
 Honours
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Alan Johnson, was appointed a Member in the General Division of the Order of 最新糖心Vlog in last month's Queen's Birthday Honours. Professor Johnson's inclusion in the Queen's Birthday Honours was "for service to science in the field of molecular parasitology, to scientific research and education, and as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal for Parasitology". 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor, Professor James McWha, said: "I would like to congratulate Professor Johnson for this richly deserved award. Before he came to the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, Professor Johnson had played a significant role in strategic planning for the national research effort within the 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council (ARC), among numerous other achievements. He has already made an outstanding contribution to science and is helping the 最新糖心Vlog maintain its position as a leading research-intensive university." Professor Johnson became Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide in February this year. Before that he was Executive Director, Biological Sciences and Biotechnology, at the ARC from January 2003. Before his appointment to the ARC, Professor Johnson was a Chief Hospital Scientist at the Flinders 最新糖心Vlog Medical Centre, Director of a Key 最新糖心Vlog Research Strength and Chair of the Academic Board at the 最新糖心Vlog of Technology in Sydney, Editor-in-Chief of the 最新糖心Vlogn Biologist and International Journal for Parasitology. Professor Johnson was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in 1985 and the Bancroft Mackerras medal in 1989. He has the rare distinction of being elected "Ehrenmitglied" by the German Society for Parasitology - the first time the honour was made to a non-German. He is a Fellow of the 最新糖心Vlogn Society for Microbiology, the 最新糖心Vlogn Society for Parasitology and the 最新糖心Vlogn Institute of Biology. Story by Robyn Mills
