Fostering Science
CSL supports the promotion of excellence in science
| In collaboration with the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (AIPS), CSL is proud to sponsor the 2011 CSL Florey Medal recognising an Australian biomedical researcher for significant achievements in biomedical science and human health advancement.
The health and economic well-being of Australians is reliant upon the excellence of our practising scientists. To this end, CSL is committed to supporting the medical research community and recognising outstanding scientists. CSL congratulates Professor Graeme Clark, the 2011 CSL Florey Medal winner for his life-changing discovery. Over the past thirty years hundreds of thousands of people have had their lives transformed by Graeme Clark’s bionic ear.
The Florey Medal was inaugurated in 1998 by the AIPS to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Sir Howard Florey, Australia’s Nobel Prize winner and discoverer of penicillin. The Florey Medal is part of the Tall Poppy Campaign which aims to recognise and promote scientific and intellectual excellence in Australia. In addition to the silver medal, the 2011 award carries a prize of $50,000. The 2011 CSL Florey Medal is the second consecutive sponsorship by CSL. In 2009, Professor John Hopwood was awarded the medal for his life-long work into the diagnosis and treatment of genetically inherited disorders that affect children. Further details regarding the announcement of the award are available on the
