Description

Victoria is securing its place as a world-leading medical research hub, as academics like Dr Rongbin Xu take their research to the world stage.

Rongbin, a research fellow in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University, was recently awarded the Premier’s Award for Health and Medical Research Excellence (Premier’s Excellence Award) and the Public Health Researcher Award at the 2023-24 Premier’s Awards for Health and Medical Research.

These awards recognised Rongbin’s PhD, which looks at pollution exposure caused by smoke from bushfires. The results found, perhaps expectedly, that human exposure levels after climate-impacted events are alarming.
