IMMUNOLOGIST Dr Misty Jenkins is one of thirty-two women who were inducted into the 2020 Victorian Honour Roll of Women.<\/p>\n

A brain cancer specialist at the Water & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Dr Jenkins leads the immunology research laboratory, developing ground-breaking immunotherapies for incurable forms of brain cancer.<\/p>\n

A Gunditjamara woman who studied at the University of Melbourne, Dr Jenkins was the first person in her family to attend university, and the first Aboriginal Australian to become a postdoctoral research fellow at Oxford and Cambridge universities.<\/p>\n

Having grown up in Ballarat, Dr Jenkins said it\u2019s \u201chard to be what you can\u2019t see,\u201d especially for young women.<\/p>\n

\u201cBallarat has produced very few scientists, but also women in leadership positions, and I think I\u2019ve held some substantial leadership positions, both at the state and national level,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to be able to represent my hometown on those various platforms and contribute to the community, not just locally, but also at a national level, advocating for women in leadership, women in science, indigenous health and education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victorian Minister for Women Gabrielle Williams said the State Government is celebrating the Roll\u2019s 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more important than ever to support and honour inspiring women because there can be no gender equality without their leadership,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day, Victorian women work hard to improve and enrich their communities, and by recognising them publicly we are showing young girls what they can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2021 Honour Roll will have a Leading Through Disaster category, following the 2019-2020 bushfires season and the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Six hundred women of varying ages, faiths, ethnicities, sexual identities and disabilities have been put on the Honour Roll since it launched in 2001.<\/p>\n
