Summary
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims 1 person every 10 min in Australia and causes 1 in 3 deaths worldwide. The molecular and cellular processes underlying atherosclerosis, vascular injury and thrombosis are highly complex and not well understood. A multifaceted approach is needed to effectively address these key challenges. This Program brings together world experts in these areas to interrogate gaps in our basic understanding of CVD, and to develop novel therapies for CVD patients by exploiting ....Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims 1 person every 10 min in Australia and causes 1 in 3 deaths worldwide.

Summary
Motor Impairment results in physical disability in a wide range of debilitating diseases and health conditions. We will conduct a research program that will include both experimental investigations and clinical trials to identify optimal strategies for maximising physical functioning for people with weakness and fatigue, impaired sensation and balance, and contracture. In doing so, our program offers great scope for improving the health and quality of life for millions of Australians and substan ....Motor Impairment results in physical disability in a wide range of debilitating diseases and health conditions.

In doing so, our program offers great scope for improving the health and quality of life for millions of Australians and substantially reducing health care costs.Read moreRead less
