ASCIA Basten Oration

Professor Antony Basten AOThe ASCIA Annual Basten Oration was initiated in 2006 by Dr Karl Baumgart (ASCIA President 2005-2006), who presented Professor Antony Basten AO with his portrait (painted by Dr Gillian Dunlop) at the ASCIA 2006 Gala Dinner, after the inaugural Basten Oration. This oration has been held at each ASCIA Annual Conference since then, in recognition of Professor Basten's:

  • Pioneering work in clinical immunology and allergy for more than 40 years.
  • Immense contribution as the founding President of ASCIA and Chairman of the successful World Allergy Congress, held in Sydney in the year 2000.
