Two scientists whose friendship was forged in Mater's South Brisbane pathology laboratories are celebrating an incredible 80 years of helping to save critically ill babies. Avis McWhinney and Colleen Voroteliak are supervising scientists at Mater's Chemical Pathology Lab and last week both received Mater Long Service Awards recognising the 40 years of service each has given to patients.
