RSNSW Seal The Royal Society of NSW is delighted to learn that one of its Fellows, Professor Hala Zreiqat AM FRSN FAA FTSE FAHMS, has been awarded a 2020-21 Fulbright Senior Scholarship.  

Professor Zreiqat is a professor of biomedical engineering at The University of Sydney and Director of the Australian Research Centre for Innovative BioEngineering. Hala is a trailblazer in the field of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Her team invented new bioceramics implants with outstanding strength and biological properties and developed innovative technologies for 3D-printing these ceramics enabling personalized approaches to the repair and regeneration of large bone defects under load.

As a Fulbright Scholar, Professor Zreiqat will spend time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the laboratory of Professor Robert Langer, a globally recognized pioneer, leader, and entrepreneur in the biomedical sciences. She will learn strategies for commercialising and translating medical research into life-changing products. Learnings will inform the commercialisation of regenerative medicine research in Australia.

The Council of the Royal Society of NSW extends its warmest congratulations to Professor Zreiqat on this award and recognition of her outstanding scientific achievements.
