25 June 2020

Congratulations and welcome to our two new Higher Degree Research candidates and recipients of the NICM HRI and BIackmores Institute Scholarship, Emma Wong and NICM HRI and Jacka Foundation Natural Therapies Scholarship, Alison Maunder.

Emma’s PhD research will investigate the clinical application of acupuncture for erectile dysfunction and other outcomes following robot assisted radical prostatectomy, where the prostate is partially or completely removed in men with prostate cancer or noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. Her project will be supervised by Dr Suzanne Grant.

Alison’s PhD research will examine naturopathic approaches in the management of women with diminished ovarian reserve, which is the loss of normal reproductive potential due to a lower count or quality of the remaining eggs. Her project will be supervised by Dr Carolyn Ee.
