Ali Taher

Congratulations to SCS Year 3 medical student Mohammdali (Ali) Taher who has won this year's Faculty-wide Pathology Scholarship prize.  The scholarship is offered by the Royal Australian College of Pathologists and is offered to each major Medical School across Australia and New Zealand.

Ali's project is investigating Chronic Villitis of Unknown Etiology (CVUE), a cause of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The goal of the study is to determine CVUE incidence rate at Monash Health hospitals and to investigate its associated risk factors and their causal relationships. In addition, the project will study pregnancy complications and birth outcomes in confirmed CVUE cases.

Ali's supervisors are Dr Moghimi MD FRCPA and Dr Dickinson from Hudson Institute of Medical Research.

We wish Ali well with his project.
