Dr Vera Ignjatovic has received a prestigious Australian Academy
of Science Scientific visit to Europe award. Only 69 of these
awards are handed out Australia-wide.
The award recognises Vera's development in the area of blood
proteomics and will allow her to undertake groundbreaking research
at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain that will, for
the first time, investigate the differences in the platelet
proteins between children and adults. Vera will work alongside
platelet proteomics expert Dr Angel Garcia-Alonso.
