Thank you @AusHealthEcon for this honour! Many, many thanks to @AusGenomics for the support, leadership and nomination and to my @EiGEN_UoM team. Find out more about some of our work this morning on the organised session for novel applications of health economics in genomics!
Congratulations to Prof. llias Goranitis for winning this year’s AHES Policy Impact Prize! Although he couldn’t be there to collect the award, it’s a well-deserved recognition of his impactful work. Well done! #AHES2024
