"I enjoy your events for the ability to match medical research, theory and insight, with humour and practical examples. Your events are professional and attract an interesting mix of young, driven people."

Young Garvan Mind Matters Forum
Our panel of esteemed scientists covered many fascinating aspects of the mind and its power and flexibility. The panel discussion was recorded and will be available as a podcast on the Garvan website in July.
We also have lots of photos from the forum which will be posted on our Facebook page.
The event raised valuable funds for the Young Garvan Postdoctoral Fellowship, which supports young scientists in making life-changing medical research breakthroughs at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.
Young Garvan gratefully thanks Macquarie Private Wealth for hosting the event and for providing all the beverages and catering. If you would like to find out more about Macquarie and their services, please contact Dean O’Neill. T (02) 8232 8662 or E. dean.oneill@macquarie.com
