Advancing Women's Research Success Grant awarded to Centre scientist

We are thrilled to announce that Ritchie Centre scientist Dr Hayley Dickinson has been awarded one of the University's prestigious 2013 Advancing Women's Research Success grants.

This is a great achievement and well deserved. Hayley leads dynamic and innovative programs of research in making birth safer and in understanding the roles of the placenta in fetal growth.

Science is a hard career for anyone. It can be especially hard for women with young children.

This award recognises the importance of women in science and the need to continue to advance women in science.

At The Ritchie Centre we are enormously proud of all of our scientists but, perhaps, just a wee bit extra proud of our women who are caring for young families while still pushing back the frontiers.

Well done Hayley. We are very proud.

Euan Wallace
Director
