Two Monash Health researchers have ranked in the world’s top 1% on a list of the year’s most significant and influential researchers.
Professor Stephen Nicholls, Director of the Victorian Heart Hospital and Monash University’s Victorian Heart Institute, and Professor Helena Teede AM, a Monash Health Endocrinologist, have both been named a 2025 Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher – a prestigious global list.
Clarivate’s annual list of Highly Cited Researchers recognises influential researchers in the sciences and social sciences from around the world, who have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their fields of research.
The researchers included on the list have authored multiple highly cited papers, which are ranked in the world’s top 1% by citations for their fields and publication year.
The groundbreaking trials and cardiovascular research led by Professor Nicholls and his team highlight the power of the collaborative ecosystem that is Victorian Heart Hospital and Monash University’s Victorian Heart Institute research program, which integrates world-leading cardiac care, research, and education.
Monash Health clinician, Professor Teede, also serves as the Director of the Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation, a partnership between Monash Health and Monash University based at the Monash Medical Centre. She holds an Order of Australia for services to women’s health.
‘We are incredibly proud of our researchers and their team on this prestigious accolade,’ said Director of Research and Innovation Associate Professor Tam Nguyen.
‘This recognition celebrates the passion and excellence of our team in their commitment to build a strong global reputation in clinical research that drives better outcomes for patients here at Monash Health and internationally.’
Both Professor Nicholls and Professor Teede are also on the Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List for 2025, along with 14 colleagues from Monash Health.
Developed jointly by Stanford University and academic publishing company Elsevier, this list identifies the top 2% of scientists worldwide by standardised citation metrics.
Congratulations to Professor Nicholls, Professor Teede and the rest of the clinician-researchers recognised for their groundbreaking and impactful work!
