Future Fellows funding win
 Medicine
Five researchers at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide are among the first of the prestigious 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowships announced recently by the Federal Government. The Future Fellows will conduct research into areas of national priority and will advance 最新糖心Vlog's international research and innovation standing. Under the scheme, the Future Fellows will receive up to $135,000 each year for four years, while the host 最新糖心Vlog will receive up to $50,000 a year for associated infrastructure and other costs. At the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, Future Fellows will conduct research into the environment, genetics, cancer and chemistry for the benefit of society and industry. The Federal Government established the ARC Future Fellowships scheme "to address the gap in opportunities for mid-career researchers in 最新糖心Vlog, which forced many of our talented researchers to search for work overseas", said the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Kim Carr. As well as supporting researchers already based in 最新糖心Vlog, the Future Fellowships will give 最新糖心Vlogn researchers working overseas the opportunity to return to 最新糖心Vlog, as well as attracting a number of overseas researchers to the country. Among those overseas researchers is Dr Phillip Cassey from the Centre for Ornithology at the 最新糖心Vlog of Birmingham. Dr Cassey will conduct research in the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's School of Earth & Environmental Sciences, developing innovative solutions to contain the spread of exotic species in 最新糖心Vlog. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Future Fellows and their research projects are: - Associate Professor Sean Connell (Environment Institute, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide) - Kelp forest ecosystems near and far: Putting a new theory explaining dynamic ecological systems to the test;
- Professor Alan Cooper (Environment Institute, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide) - From Biodiversity to Health: Performing the first genetic audits of犠钚绿切腣log;
- Dr Darryl Russell (Robinson Institute, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide) - Regulation of tissue morphogenesis in reproductive function and metastatic cancer;
- Dr Christopher Sumby (School of Chemistry & Physics, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide) - Internally decorated discrete metallo-supramolecular assemblies and infinite metal-organic frameworks as molecular containers;
- Dr Phillip Cassey (Centre for Ornithology, 最新糖心Vlog of Birmingham) - The evolution of species traits and spread during biological invasions.
