06/10/2014 Bill Gates had met with two Monash students: Jarrel Seah (CCS BMedSc(Hons) student) and Jennifer Tang (Pictured right) who developed an app that allows users to self-screen for anaemia by taking a ‘selfie’ of their eye. Gates said that he could see a future version of Eyenaemia being used in developing countries, especially with pregnant women, since anaemia contributes to nearly 20 percent of deaths during pregnancy.

The Melbourne Sexual Health Centre (MSHC) joined Central Clinical School in late 2013. The Centre is headed by Professor Christopher Fairley. The Centre's main activity is clinical, but there is a research component. Featured research from 2012 was on human papillomavirus (HPV) and the increasing frequency of associated mouth or throat cancer. See more about the centre at www.mshc.org.au.
