2022 - Professor Alan Cass
Professor Alan Cass’s entire career has been focussed upon greater understanding of kidney disease and how treatments can best be used to benefit patients. His work over 25+ years has focussed upon improving the care of patients with kidney disease, especially in the most disadvantaged communities in Australia, enhancing research into kidney disease, building capacity to address kidney disease and driving policy change to support improvements for patients with kidney disease and their families.
His work has spread across research, government, advocacy, and the non-government sectors, with a particular focus upon improving the outcomes for Indigenous Australians who suffer disproportionately from kidney disease. His research has laid the foundations for the improvement in health services seen to date, most notably in facilitating dialysis closer to country and reducing the social upheaval from such treatment but has also built research capability that will continue to deliver into the future.
