What does 3 days at an international healthcare leadership summit look like? 🌍

Monash Pharmacy student Helena Madadi recently travelled to Bologna, Italy, as part of the Monash University delegation attending the 2026 Global Alliance of Medical Excellence (GAME) – Transnational Educational Initiative (TEI) Future Leaders Summit.

Alongside a talented cohort of students from across the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (MNHS) Monash University MNHS , Helena joined emerging healthcare leaders from eight partner universities across three continents for three intensive days of learning, collaboration and cultural exchange.

Throughout the summit, participants tackled global health challenges, explored patient safety through medication reviews, and examined how emerging technologies are transforming healthcare practice and collaboration.

From workshops and team challenges to new connections and cultural experiences, these snapshots offer a glimpse into Helena’s experience representing Monash University on the global stage.

Thank you to Helena for sharing her journey with our community. We are proud of her contribution to the summit and acknowledge MNHS for fostering opportunities that enable Monash students to learn, connect and lead alongside future healthcare professionals from around the world.

Her success reflects both the quality of her research and her ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact.

This achievement highlights the excellence of graduate research across CMUS, MIPS and Monash Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Congratulations, Yannee, on this outstanding achievement. We are incredibly proud to see one of our researchers recognised at the University level and look forward to cheering her on at the next stage of the competition.

What sound does an HPLC instrument, Skincare bottle and NMR spectrometer make?

Did you know? 👀 These sounds are all connected through the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science (BPharmSci) at Monash, where students explore how medicines and consumer products are discovered, analysed, and developed.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is used to separate, identify, and quantify compounds, making it an essential tool in drug development and pharmaceutical research.

A skincare bottle may look simple, but every formulation relies on carefully selected ingredients that are tested and optimised to ensure quality, stability, and performance.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy helps scientists determine the structure of molecules, providing critical insights that support modern drug discovery and medicinal chemistry.

From analysing compounds to designing formulations and uncovering molecular structures, pharmaceutical science is shaping the products and medicines we use every day. Through the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science at Monash, students gain hands-on experience in the science behind medicines, cosmetics, and other consumer products.
