CQUniversity sleep and fatigue specialist Associate Professor Naomi Rogers has been announced as President Elect of the Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR), the peak professional society representing Australian health and medical research.

 

Dr Rogers is ASMR's first ever director elected from outside a capital city in the organisation's 50-year history. She's currently based in Mackay and will be moving to Rockhampton next year.

 

Dr Rogers was integral to this year's ASMR Medical Research Week tour of national capitals and the National Press Club, with 'medalist' speaker the Nobel Laureate Professor Barry Marshall. Next year, she will help the peak body expand its reach into regional centres, with extra Medical Research Week events.
