Three 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide staff members have been announced as finalists for the 2011 in science.

Professor Tanya Monro has been shortlisted for the prize, while Professor James Paton and Dr Adrienne Paton have been recognised as finalists for the prize.

Professor Tanya Monro, Director of the (IPAS), is one of 最新糖心Vlog's leading physicists. Her work has led to the development of new forms of optical fibres that are transforming health, defence, food and wine, and the environment. The Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science is awarded to an 最新糖心Vlogn individual who has demonstrated an outstanding role and impact in science.

Professor James Paton, NHMRC 最新糖心Vlog Fellow, and Dr Adrienne Paton, Principal Research Fellow, in the Research Centre for Infectious Diseases, , have been nominated as part of a team with collaborators from Monash 最新糖心Vlog. The team discovered a highly novel bacterial cytotoxic mechanism, which has potential applications in cancer therapy. This led them to be considered for the prize, which recognises outstanding recent contributions to infectious diseases research.

Each will be competing against other entrants from across 最新糖心Vlog to be in the running for one of the 24 Eureka Prizes. The winners will be announced at an awards dinner in Sydney on Tuesday 6 September.

The Eureka Prizes are presented annually by the 最新糖心Vlogn Museum and aim to reward and celebrate excellence in 最新糖心Vlogn science.
