Associate Professor Renly Lim is an internationally recognised leader in pharmacy and medicine safety. She is the Clinical Practice Research Lead at the Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Centre at the Adelaide University, where she leads innovative, policy-relevant research aimed at improving clinical practice and reducing medicine-related harm. She is also an adjunct fellow at IMU University, Malaysia.
 
After completing her PhD at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Renly undertook postdoctoral research with the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit. During this time, she led a community engagement program supporting malaria elimination in Cambodia. The program was featured in The Lancet and received the University of Oxford Public Engagement with Research Award, as well as the Vice-Chancellor’s Choice Award in 2019.
 
Since moving to Australia, she has established a nationally influential research program in pharmacy and medicine safety, including work that directly informed the Australian health ministers’ decision to declare Quality Use of Medicines and Medicines Safety as the 10th National Health Priority Area. She has secured $15 million in competitive funding to support her research and has produced more than 100 outputs, including peer-reviewed publications, reports for the Australian Government, the Wellcome Trust, and the World Health Organization.
 
Renly also holds international leadership roles in pharmacy. She served as President of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) Young Pharmacists Group (2021-22), leading a global team of 45 pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists from 21 countries. FIP is the peak global pharmacy body, representing over 5.5 million pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists worldwide. In 2023, she was appointed to the FIP Policy Committee on Access to Medicines, contributing to the development of a global policy statement to improve access to medicines, which was endorsed by the FIP Council in 2024 and adopted by 158 national pharmacy organisations across 108 countries. As a Board member of the FIP Data and Intelligence Commission (2023-current), she contributes to data-driven initiatives aimed at transforming pharmacy practice and advancing global workforce reform.
