A pair of exciting Hudson Institute research projects has received funding for the next two years from the Jack Brockhoff Foundation.
The projects of Dr Shouya Feng and Dr Elly Jarred, covering anti-inflammatory therapies for autoinflammatory diseases and the role of epigenetics in female reproductive health, stood out in a competitive field for these prestigious grants.
The Jack Brockhoff Foundation exists to support the health and wellbeing of all Victorians and among its philanthropic efforts it funds talented early-career researchers such as Dr Feng and Dr Jarred.
The Foundation was established in 1979 by the late Sir Jack Brockhoff, the Chairman and Managing Director of Brockhoff Biscuits Pty Ltd, a business established by his grandfather in 1880.
History of the Jack Brockhoff Foundation
Brockhoff Biscuits was a famous name throughout Australia from the late 19th century until the late 1970s, responsible for introducing staples such as Savoy biscuits and Savoury Shapes to the market.
Throughout his life, Sir Jack was keen to assist others in the community less fortunate than himself, and Hudson Institute is proud to be part of the Brockhoff Foundation's efforts to bring much-needed medical breakthroughs to the people of Victoria and beyond.
