Fiona Wood on Mobilising Research into Action
Join us for a special event featuring Professor Fiona Wood AO, pioneering Australian surgeon, researcher, and inventor of the revolutionary spray-on skin technique that has saved countless lives.
Fiona will share her experiences in transforming research into tangible action, focusing on her work in burn care, the 2002 Bali bombings, and how technology is shaping the future of medicine. She will speak to the importance of mentorship and leadership in inspiring bold, decisive action towards gender equality.
Fiona’s story is a testament to International Women’s Day theme of March Forward, as she continues to push the boundaries of science, medicine, and leadership to create a more inclusive future.
