We are delighted to announce a new Professor to jo We are delighted to announce a new Professor to join the ranks with her distinguished peers at Centenary – Clinical Professor Devanshi Seth – in recognition of her contributions to medical research. Prof Seth is a trail blazer in the area of alcohol-related liver disease. She established the Alcoholic Liver Disease Laboratory in 2008, a unique research laboratory in Australia. Then in 2010, she founded a multinational GenomALC consortium focusing on the genomics of alcohol-related liver disease. Prof Seth has also contributed to breaking new ground at Centenary, when she was the inaugural chair of our Inclusion and Gender Equity Program from 2014 to 2017. "I am proud of this moment, of reaching another destination in my academic journey. It will bring new opportunities to expand my research and career. And as migrant – defying gender, colour, ethnicity – it is satisfying to be a positive role model for many young women (and men, of course) who desire to achieve in their careers," said Prof Seth.

This combined effort has meant that we’ve been able to reduce sudden cardiac death in our society and improve outcomes for many patients and their families." This year we are celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the Agnes Ginges Centre for Molecular Cardiology. We also wish to acknowledge the dedication of Centre Director Professor Chris Semsarian AM into the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic heart diseases and sudden cardiac death in the community. #20years4heart #suddencardiacdeath #geneticheartdisease
