Congratulations Dr Joanne Enticott on being competitively selected to take part in the 2017 round of BioMedVic's “Researcher in Residence” Scheme. Her selection is a credit to her excellence as a mid career researcher and to her policy influencing research.

She will be working with Claire Thorn, Manager of Office of Health and Medical Research, Innovation, Industry and International Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Victorian Government.
The goals of the program are to:
