ProfessorEugen Molodysky

In 1983, during the first days of AIDS, Professor Molodysky was the first primary care physician to identify patients infected with HIV when no specific testing was available, by using the Cell Mediated Immunity (CMI) test.

In 1983, Professor Molodysky established Australia's first HIV clinic, the Eastside Medical Centre, in Paddington. He then established one of Australia's first methadone clinics, at the United Gardens Private Hospital, in Summer Hill.

In 2000, his original HPV research thesis (PhD) foreshadowed the clinical utility of HPV testing. In 2017, more than a decade later, HPV testing became the primary Medicare funded screening tool for cervical cancer in Australia.

In 2008, Professor Molodysky was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for services to medical education, through clinical teaching, curriculum and professional development, and research into cervical cancer.

In 2016, Professor Molodysky published the first edition of the nutritional medicine-based Primary Care Fellowship Curriculum. This seminal document established a platform from which to launch formally, the education and training of primary care physicians in the delivery of preventive medicine in day-to-day clinical practice.

In 2017-20, Professor Molodysky supervised MD Research students to undertake analyses of the prediabetes - type 2 diabetes landscape in Australia.
