Professor Calford graduated with a PhD in physiology from Monash University in 1982 before holding several postdoctoral appointments at the University of Melbourne, City University of New York, and Oxford, England. After returning to Australia in 1984 he received a Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship at the University of Queensland working with the newly appointed Chair of Physiology – Jack Pettigrew. Professor Calford’s career in research began looking at the sensory representations with a particular interest in adaptations of Australian endemic animals, a topic which has remained a life-long interest. Subsequently, he set up a laboratory examining the cellular and physiological basis of the brain’s response to trauma in animal models. Professor Calford was successful in obtaining major funding from the Australian research council (Including a center of excellence) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (Including a program grant and a principal research fellowship). He counts as a major achievement his 28 years of continuous NHMRC funding, before giving way and fully joining the “dark-side” of research through university administration in 2012. Professor Calford has had a long interest in research ethics and standards and has chaired the Animal Welfare Committee of the NHMRC, the Universities Australia Pro and Deputy Vice-Chancellors Research Committee, and the 2018 revision of the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research. Professor Calford moved from the Australian National University (ANU) to the University of Newcastle in 2000 as Chair of Physiology. He points to the excellent relationships between clinicians in Hunter New England Health and the academic staff of the University as the main motivation for his move. These relationships led to the formation of HMRI and Mike joined the Board of HMRI in his role as Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Health) in 2006 and then as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) until he left Newcastle in early 2013. Professor Calford has held appointments as Provost at the University of Tasmania and the ANU before returning to Newcastle as Institute Director of HMRI in November 2020. https://www.new1000.org.au/professor-craig-pennell daily 0.75 2021-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606ba763d5e7d715bfbb521f/1617680402611-VPURQ0LZAMUR631472YW/craig%2Bpennell.jpg Professor Craig Pennell Professor Craig Pennell Professor Craig Pennell is a Senior Researcher at the Hunter Medical Research Institute’s Mothers and Babies Research Centre and Director of the NEW1000 Study. He is a leading researcher in precision medicine in pregnancy. Precision medicine involves combining clinical and genetic information to provide personalised health care. Professor Pennell’s vision is for this approach to become the standard in pregnancy care to improve the current rates of pregnancy complications such as preterm birth, fetal growth restriction and stillbirth. In addition to better pregnancy outcomes precision medicine has the potential to greatly improve long term health for the next generation through targeted interventions in early life to improve modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. Professor Pennell currently participates in 13 multinational research consortia to identify the role of genomics in the development and outcomes of these diseases. Professor Pennell’s experience providing pregnancy care drives his research to improve health outcomes for Australian families. He is the Scientific Director of Red Nose, one of Australia’s largest not-for-profit consumer-led organisations supporting bereaved parents, and has an ongoing collaboration with Miracle Babies, the leading support organisation for families with premature and sick newborns. Craig is actively involved in health consumer engagement and advocates for community driven research. Throughout his career Professor Pennell has authored over 230 papers, been cited over 12,000 times and been awarded more than $29M in competitive research funding. https://www.new1000.org.au/professor-john-wiggers daily 0.75 2021-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606ba763d5e7d715bfbb521f/1617680627873-9FL9F25Z031WV8DGAABX/John%2BWiggers_%2B1000.jpg Professor John Wiggers Professor John Wiggers is a member of the NEW1000 Executive Board and the Research Lead for Public Health and Health Translation.He is the Director of Hunter New England Public Health and an expert in the translation of public health research into practice and policy. His research through targeting modifiable health behaviours such as alcohol consumption, drugs, smoking, healthy eating, and exercise. His research involves multidisciplinary projects that aim to prevent chronic disease through targeting modifiable health behaviours such as alcohol consumption, drugs, smoking, healthy eating and exercise. Recognising that getting one person to change is hard when their environment remains the same, Professor Wiggers takes a collaborative community approach to improve health, engaging with key community organisations, schools, sporting clubs, GP's, childcare services, and hospitals. Professor Wiggers will use his experience in successfully integrating research into policy and practice to ensure findings in the NEW1000 Study have a far-reaching impact. https://www.new1000.org.au/associate-professor-tracy-dudding-bythe daily 0.75 2021-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606ba763d5e7d715bfbb521f/1617680797156-4GD6T5XKMEKLBXMHWQ95/tracy_dudding_768.jpg Associate Professor Tracy Dudding-Bythe - Associate Professor Tracy Dudding-Bythe is a member of the NEW1000 Executive Board.
