Childhood Diabetes: Prediction, Prevention And Preservation Of Beta Cells
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$577,189.00
Summary
Childhood onset type 1 diabetes is a severe life-long disease that has a major impact on the child and their family. While studies have attempted to modify the immune system before or after diagnosis, few clinical trials have recruited young children. The overarching goal of this fellowship is to improve the lives of young people with diabetes, through a multifaceted program of ground-breaking research aimed at prediction, prevention and preservation of insulin producing ?-cells in the pancreas.
Translational Research Program To Advance Clinical Outcomes In Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$418,192.00
Summary
Five-year survival in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is only 27%, placing it amongst the worst-ranked cancers for clinical outcome. Improved patient outcomes will be achieved through implementation of a Translational Research Program to support novel agent drug testing, early-phase and randomised clinical trials and a national clinical registry to audit outcomes. New insights into leukaemic stem cell function and mechanisms of drug resistance will inform the design of future clinical trials.
Brain Ageing - Studying Causes And Developing Interventions
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$481,156.00
Summary
This fellowship will assist in better understanding the complex reasons for serious conditions (dementia, stroke, falls, walking impairment) affecting brain health in ageing individuals, and in developing ways to reduce the risk or impact of these conditions in affected people.
Optimization Of Glycaemic Control And Prevention Of Hypoglycaemia And Microvascular Complications In Children And Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes
Funder

Funding Amount
$452,051.00
Summary
Type 1 diabetes is a complex life-long disease that has onset in the young and carries a significant burden. Good management is crucial as it helps prevent the serious long term complications of the disease such as blindness and kidney disease. Low blood glucose or hypoglycaemia is a common side effect of insulin treatment. This research aims to explore ways to treat the disease more effectively, prevent hypoglycaemia and other diabetes complications and in so doing improve the outcomes for youn ....Type 1 diabetes is a complex life-long disease that has onset in the young and carries a significant burden.

Summary
This fellowship will provide me the opportunity to advance islet transplantation as a curative treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. The ultimate goal is to use cell-based therapy to achieve insulin independence for all people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to do this by developing a collaborative network between scientists and clinicians to advance human islet transplantation as a treatment for type 1 diabetes and to develop genetically engineered pig cells as a novel source of insulin prod ....This fellowship will provide me the opportunity to advance islet transplantation as a curative treatment for people with type 1 diabetes.

Biomarkers, Related Mechanisms And Technology To Improve Diabetes Outcomes
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$474,513.00
Summary
Diabetes can cause eye, kidney, heart and nerve damage. The applicant will lead human studies of treatments to prevent complications, improve blood glucose and co-ordinate care. Early outcome prediction would enable better treatment of high-risk people, monitoring of therapy, and development of new treatments. Dr Jenkins also has a network with data and samples from over 35,000 people with diabetes, preliminary data, and a team to measure markers and test new treatments in the lab.
This proposal supports a successful, productive mid career researcher to generate new knowledge in priority areas of women' health. Clinical, public health, health services and implementation research focuses on prevention and treatment of lifestyles/obesity related conditions across the lifespan. Activities include mentoring young researchers/ clinicians, leadership and collaboration, cross sector engagement and translation of research into practice delivering improved health outcomes.
Clinical Studies Of Diabetes And Tropical Infectious Diseases
