Graeme Clark discovered how to code speech with electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve and brain pathways to restore hearing to tens of thousands of severely-to-profoundly deaf people in more than 100 countries.
The Cochlear implant is considered the greatest advance in helping severely-to-profoundly deaf adults to hear, and for deaf children it is the greatest advance in enabling them to develop excellent spoken language.

Donald E Ingber delivers a benchmark Oration to
a record audience
The 2014 Graeme Clark Oration, delivered by Dr Donald Ingber, Founding Director of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, was an example of science communication at its very best. An inspiring presentation, Dr Ingber discussed some of the incredible advances in science and technology that are shaping the future of medicine and healthcare. If you have any interest in science and technology for healthcare, you MUST watch the 2014 Graeme Clark Oration.
An audience of 1,400 people were present to hear Dr Ingber deliver the Oration and were in awe of the advances that are taking place now, not in the near future.

At the forefront of convergence of Life Sciences and IT
The Oration organiser, ICT for Life Sciences forum brings together people at the convergence of the life sciences and information and communication technology – in areas such as developing bionic implant devices for hearing and sight; supercomputing to crunch data on genomics or model drug treatments; using synchrotron light to reveal the structure of protein molecules.
The Forum facilitates communication and cooperation between people in this newly emerging discipline and supports the development of a vibrant and innovative high technology industry.
Established in 2008 the Forum offers value by sharing knowledge and expertise, aspirations, problems and ideas among an interesting group of people. It also builds bridges between recent large infrastructure investments – the synchrotron, the $100 Million life sciences super computer, the imaging investments, and others – and the people who can make use of those facilities.
