Dr Victoria Hall was recently awarded the University of Melbourne 2024 Deans Award for Excellence in Graduate Research. She said the Peter Mac Foundation Postgraduate Award, which she received in 2022, helped take her career to the next level.

“The Peter Mac Foundation Postgraduate award has allowed me to attend and present my PhD research at the Congress of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID Global) in both 2023 and 2024,” she said.

“This is a highlight of the calendar year for academic infectious diseases, to learn and share new knowledge, meet clinicians and researchers from all over the world and discover new places.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to attend and thankful for the support from this award.”

These awards are named in honour and recognition of the tireless work supporting the Peter Mac Foundation’s fundraising activities by long-term supporters including Rosie Lew, Robert Kirby, Lester Peters and Stewart Baron.

This scholarship provides award of $45,000 per year up to a maximum 3.5 years.
