School of Health Sciences Research Colloquium

Well done to all of our Masters and PhD students for a range of excellent oral and poster presentations detailing the latest progress in their projects, at the School of Health Sciences Research Colloquium.

Congratulations to Sena Gocuk (Current optometric practices relating to age-related macular degeneration (AMD)), Bing Dai (Motion perception in infantile nystagmus) and Anna van Koeverden (Quantifying interaction between retinal ganglion cells and microglia) for winning people choice awards.

A diverse program was presented on the day, brilliantly organised entirely by students across Optometry, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Audiology and Speech pathology and Social Work.
