The Gala Dinner is a formal dinner uniting esteemed researchers, students, industry professionals, politicians and our ASMR Medallist. Prize recipients at the SA Annual Scientific Meeting will also be recognised at the Gala Dinner.

As well as celebrating the best and brightest researchers in our state, the dinner will feature the 2025 ASMR Medallist, Dr Daniel Timms. Dr Timms is an innovative biomedical engineer whose journey began in Brisbane, where he spent countless hours alongside his plumber father, tinkering with water pumps and constructing imaginative devices. A personal tragedy ignited Dr Timms’ unwavering commitment to revolutionise cardiovascular care.

A graduate of the Queensland University of Technology, Dr Timms’ research journey took him from Brisbane’s Prince Charles Hospital to prestigious institutions worldwide. Collaborating with Germany’s Helmholtz Institute – one of Europe’s foremost cardiovascular engineering research centres – and the Texas Heart Institute, he contributed to groundbreaking work in the TAH design and development. In 2023, he was nominated for Queensland’s “Australian of the Year” award.

Dr Timms continues to collaborate with global experts to develop cutting-edge cardiovascular medical devices, and his unwavering dedication underscores his pivotal role in advancing cardiac care and saving lives.
