Communicating Endometriosis Through Art

As an expert researcher on endometriosis, Dr Thomas Tapmeier, Senior Research Fellow and Group Head, was invited by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany to attend the opening of the exhibition 'Communicating Endometriosis through Art: Artists Respond' at the Gender Institute in Canberra. 

Thomas’s invitation is indicative of Monash's national and international standing in endometriosis research. As many patients would agree, endometriosis research needs collaboration across areas such as academia, healthcare, government, and consumer communities.
