Summary
I am an interventional cardiologist whose research program spans from biomedical discovery, to new markers of early cardiovascular disease and clinical trials of new therapy. We are particularly focused on novel strategies to help patients who suffer from heart attack despite having no standard risk factors. I lead a team of cross-disciplinary researchers. A Practitioner Fellowship will help me to achieve international impact against the leading cause of death and disability in our community.

Summary
Drug-related deaths in Australia account for 6.6% of all deaths (ABS 2009). In much of the rural Asia-Pacific, pesticide poisoning and snakebite are major problems. This research supports an integrated national and international clinical toxicology research program covering medicine and chemical poisoning, serious adverse drug reactions, snake and spider bite. Its focus is on the applied research needed to detect new problems and rapidly translate early findings into better treatment, regulation ....Drug-related deaths in Australia account for 6.6% of all deaths (ABS 2009).
