Dr Noushin Nasiri wins the 2019 NSW Tall Poppies Award
Congratulations to Dr Noushin Nasiri on receiving a 2019 New South Wales Tall Poppy Science Award. The Tall Poppy Campaign was created in 1998 by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (AIPS) to recognise and celebrate Australian intellectual and scientific excellence and to encourage younger Australians to follow in the footsteps of our outstanding achievers. It has made significant achievements towards building a more publicly engaged scientific leadership in Australia. Noushin’s research is aimed at developing breath tests that can diagnose diseases like diabetes and breast cancer in their very early stages, when treatment options are wider and the prognosis more hopeful. Her research is focused on developing nanonsensors that will enable early, non-invasive disease diagnosis using biomarkers in the breath.
