Professor Phillip Morris
Phillip Morris was appointed to the Board in 2018.
He has experience in teaching and research in Queensland and South Australian universities and hospitals spanning almost 50 years. His work focussed on the genetics and underlying biology of childhood and other human diseases to better understand disease progression and develop novel treatments. His knowledge is invaluable in helping us exploit emerging scientific advances for the benefit of our members.
His insight is doubly relevant, given his lived experience of spinal cord damage and his passion for improving the lives of people living with spinal cord injuries.
During Board deliberations he is always focussed on better outcomes for members and the provision of improved services and supports.
