New Chair of the VBIC
After years of dedication and leadership, Professor Gary Egan has announced his retirement as Chair of the Victorian Biomedical Imaging Capability (VBIC), as well as his departure as the Director of Monash Biomedical Imaging. Gary played a crucial role in establishing the VBIC, having led the Victorian Science Agenda grant (2010-15), which provided funding for MRI, PET-CT, and animal imaging facilities at the VBIC nodes. Gary’s contributions have been invaluable, and without him, VBIC would not have come to fruition. We express our utmost gratitude for his leadership and dedication to the VBIC.
As VBIC marks the end of one chapter of success and growth, we are pleased to welcome Professor Leigh Johnston as the new Chair of VBIC. Leigh has been an integral part of VBIC for many years, serving as the head of the University of Melbourne (UOM). The UOM node is also a node for the National Imaging Facility. With her extensive experience and expertise, we are excited to see Leigh take VBIC to a new phase of success and collaboration.
Congratulations Leigh on your appointment and thank you Gary for your dedicated service and leadership.
