Biography
Professor Alan Bensoussan is Professor of Chinese Medicine, and Interim Executive Director of the National Institute of Complementary Medicine. He is one of Australia’s prominent researchers in complementary medicine and was instrumental in establishing the National Institute of Complementary Medicine. Under Alan’s leadership, CompleMED has forged a broad network of links with other national and international organisations within government and industry, and is currently involved in collaborative projects with institutions in China, Hong Kong, United States and the United Kingdom.
Professor Bensoussan has been in clinical practice for 25 years and is an active researcher, attracting funds from the US National Institutes of Health, the Australian National Health & Medical Research Council, AusIndustry, DEST, State and Commonwealth governments and industry. He sits on a number of government committees both nationally and internationally, and has frequently served as consultant to the World Health Organisation. He has published two books including a review of acupuncture research and a substantial government report on the practice of traditional Chinese medicine in Australia, which contributed to the passage of the Victorian Chinese Medicine (Practitioner) Registration Act and led to similar processes in other Australian states. Professor Bensoussan’s research contributions, particularly his clinical trials and public health research in Chinese medicine, have been widely reported and recognised, and he frequently appears in the national media.
