IUCr Executive Committee member honoured
![[Jenny M - Wunderly]](https://www.iucr.org/__data/assets/image/0019/136018/Jenny-M-Wunderleyt.jpg)
Congratulations to Professor Jenny Martin, Director of the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia; President of the Asian Crystallographic Association; and member of the IUCr Executive Committee, who was made a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in the Australia Day Honours List. Professor Martin is a renowned protein crystallographer and structural biologist, as well as a former Editor of Acta Cryst. D. Professor Martin has focused on determining the structure of disease-causing proteins so that new drugs can be designed to combat them. Her work in this field was also recognised recently by her election to the Australian Academy of Science, election as an Eminent Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, and elevation to Bragg Member of the Royal Institution of Australia. She is a relentless champion for gender equality, as reflected in her being awarded the Wunderly Oration Medal from the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (see photo).
Professor Martin AC was overwhelmed by the award and the response (including trending on Twitter in Australia), saying “I was thrilled, humbled and shocked in equal measure. The award of an AC is a rare privilege and I am enormously grateful to whoever nominated me. It’s wonderful recognition of my work, my leadership in crystallography and drug discovery, and the values that I hold dear - excellence, respect, integrity, collegiality and authenticity.”
