| Dr Joe Suttie |
A UNSW conjoint academic and alumnus has won a prestigious award to undertake postgraduate study in Britain.
Dr Joe Suttie received a 2007 General Sir John Monash Award in a ceremony at Government House in Canberra this week. The award was presented by the Governor-General Michael Jeffrey.
The Monash awards are described as the Australian equivalent of Britain’s Rhodes Scholarships and the American Fulbright Awards.
Dr Suttie will receive up to $150,000 over three years to undertake a PhD at Oxford University. He will study novel techniques in cardiac imaging for the detection of cardiac failure and the causes of heart attacks.
“Current methods of detection are invasive and carry potentially life threatening complications including stroke and cardiac arrhythmias,” said Dr Suttie, who is an advanced trainee in cardiology at St Vincent’s Hospital. “These new methods of diagnostic assessments will also enable early detection and treatment of cardiac disease, which is more frequently found in people of marginalised socio-economic status."
