In 1983 Professor Barry Marshall AC, Patron of the Spinnaker Health Research Foundation and Nobel Prize Laureate, received a travel grant from the then Medical Advisory Committee of Fremantle Hospital, while a young registrar at that hospital. This grant gave Prof Marshall the opportunity to present his preliminary findings on the Helicobacter pylori research which ultimately earned him and his colleague Dr Robin Warren AC a joint Nobel Prize. Professor Marshall credits this travel grant as providing the means by which he was able to convince his peers of the significance of their discovery and, ultimately, led to simple, lifesaving treatments for peptic ulcers and stomach cancer. The Barry Marshall Travel Award has been established to pay tribute to Professor Marshall’s great achievements and to foster a culture of inspiration, innovation and information sharing. Business Events Perth is honoured to support Professor Barry Marshall AC and Mrs Adrienne Marshall and the Spinnaker Health Research Foundation in part funding these awards.
