Georgina Virgo
Research assistant, University of Adelaide
I am a geoscientist who recently completed a PhD at The University of Adelaide. My research focused on unravelling past environments during the Neoproterozoic Era. This was a dynamic time in Earth's past, as the world experienced climatic shifts, tectonic reorganisation, and biological evolution. As part of my project, I conducted fieldwork in the northern Flinders Ranges, and used sedimentological and geochemical techniques to try and piece together how the world descended into a global icehouse, referred to as "Snowball Earth", roughly 700 million years ago.
Since finishing my PhD, I have continued working within the university environment, as both an administrative officer for the Tectonics and Earth Systems (TES) Research Group and Metal Isotopes Group (MIG), and a research assistant for the Australian Critical Zone Observatory (OZCZO).

Professor McElvaney has a strong track record in translational research and has published widely in the areas of cystic fibrosis (CF), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), infection, immunity, and lung inflammation. Under his directorship the Respiratory Research Division has attracted national and international funding, including grants from the Health Research Board, Science Foundation Ireland, The Higher Education Authority, The CF Association of Ireland, and the US Alpha-1 Foundation. His unit has a well-established track record in research into CF and AATD and their work on lung defenses has led to interactions with pharmaceutical companies interested in translational research. For example in 1999 Beaumont Hospital was the first site worldwide for intravenous administration of transgenic alpha 1-antitrypsin to individuals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. 2004 saw the first Phase 1 study in Beaumont Hospital of Lomucin, a medication developed to block abnormal mucin production from bronchial epithelium. This work arose directly from research carried out in the Respiratory Research Division. In 2001 Professor McElvaney founded the Alpha One Foundation of Ireland. Subsequently he received funding from the Department of Health and Children to establish the first targeted detection programme for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in Europe. This genetic condition is associated with risk for lung, liver and skin problems, and Professor McElvaney has been carrying out research into AATD for over 20 years.
