National Centre Of Research Excellence To Improve Management Of Peripheral Arterial Disease
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,618,637.00
Summary
Approximately 15% of adults have blockages or weakness of major arteries in the periphery, associated with impaired quality of life and a high mortality. Significant management deficiencies for these problems include limited diagnostic, prognostic and treatment options, as well as poor adoption of evidence based practice. The proposed national centre will bring together a group of experts in the field to instigate a number of initiatives to improve patient management.

NHMRC Centre Of Research Excellence For Better Outcomes In Coronary Artery Disease
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
One Australian suffers a heart attack every 10 min, many without any prior warning. What contributes to atherosclerosis beyond traditional risk factors, and how to manage patients that suffer a heart attack despite no risk factors is not well known. This CRE will establish new biomarkers and clinical pathways for detection of subclinical atherosclerosis as well as secondary prevention strategies whilst fostering the cardiovascular research leaders of the future.
The Australian Centre of Excellence in Twin Research will build on the Australian Twin Registry, which for 30 years has played an integral part in health & medical research. The new Centre aims to expand a state-of-the-art resource for conducting research, bring together leading national and international researchers from across disciplines, and build capacity in people, techniques, and expertise to continue to enable twin research to address major health and medical issues.
