Summary
My research program aims to improve the outcomes for those living with systemic sclerosis related pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH) and reduce its associated societal burden through the evaluation and implementation of a novel PAH screening algorithm; the use of risk stratification tools in therapeutic decisions; and the development of a more streamlined management approach. My research will initiate collaboration across multiple medical disciplines and sites nationally.
Closing The Clinical Translation Gap Of The Gut Microbiome In Chronic Diseases
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,337,350.00
Summary
The gut microbiota is important for human health and disease but knowledge transfer to clinical practice is lacking. This proposal will investigate how diet & gut microbiota changes connect with physical symptoms, mental health & behavioural issues in chronic diseases, using cystic fibrosis & autism spectrum disorder as models of disease. Improved understanding can improve management, assist in developing targeted therapies & is key to providing real-world solutions to improve outcomes.
