The Vasudhara Foundation was founded by Tanya Nelson Carnegie, to support innovative and creative social impact projects in both the not-for-profit and social enterprise worlds.
“I am truly grateful for this gift from Tanya and the Vasudhara Foundation,” Prof Celermajer said. “Much more needs to be done for children and young adults who are suffering from the long-term complications of CHD.”
Prof Coats added his thanks to Tanya and her team for their “incredible generosity” and said the gift will have a “direct benefit” on the lives of young people with CHD.
“This partnership with David will have a transformative impact on his research,” he said. “I offer my heartfelt thanks for the Foundation’s generosity, vision, and care for children with CHD, who deserve the very best life that we can give them.”
Prof Celermajer is currently HRI’s Clinical Director and is also the Director of Adult Congenital Heart Services and Pulmonary Hypertension Services at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA) in Sydney. He has authored over 500 published peer-reviewed articles, worked with industry to promote new cardiovascular technologies, and mentored many young and emerging research leaders.
