Twice as nice for SAHMRI’s young achievers

Two members of the SAHMRI community were honoured at the recent InDaily 40 Under 40 gala awards evening.

A/Prof Scott Penfold, the Lead Medical Physicist with the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research, and Joep van Agteren, the Co-Lead of SAHMRI Be Well Co, were both inducted onto the 40 Under 40 list for 2022.

Joep was also awarded the Discovery Award recognising his innovative mental health research that is having a business and multi-disciplinary impact on the future of SA’s health sector.

The 40 Under 40 Awards celebrate the impact South Australia’s finest young people have on shaping the future of our state. The program recognises not only the personal determination and commercial drive of these leaders but also the philanthropic pursuits that balance these individuals’ professional achievements. 

The 40 Under 40 come from across industries and sectors, from startups to large corporations, but they are united in their passion for South Australia.
