Translational impact is not limited to clinical researchers. In this interactive panel discussion, two leading fundamental discovery scientists will share how they have built successful research programs through strategic partnerships with clinicians, leading to research with real-world impact while maintaining strong basic science foundations. Through a brief introduction to their research programs and career journeys, the panellists will highlight the approaches that have underpinned their success, including building meaningful multidisciplinary collaborations, demonstrating translational impact, and securing highly competitive NHMRC Investigator Grants. A facilitated discussion and audience Q&A will provide practical insights and advice for researchers seeking to strengthen the competitiveness, impact, and long-term success of their own research programs.

Symposium Speakers: Dr Harriet Fitzgerald; Dr Senthil Arumugam; Prof Brian Drew
