Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$568,892.00
Summary
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease will receive the benefits of personalized medicine with this Fellowship funding. Dr Gibson, an international leader in this field, has identified key biomarkers that will allow treatments to be rationalized based on the underlying disease mechanisms. This research will translate the benefits on modern technology and apply these to individualized care for people with asthma and COPD, who can expect fewer lung attacks and better quality of life.

Summary
Approximately 5% of men and 1% of women aged over 60 years develop artery weakening. The management of artery weakening is currently focused on radiological imaging and surgery. In this fellowship work will be performed to better understand the mechanisms involved in artery weakening, assess new ways of monitoring disease progression and evaluate new medical therapies. It is envisaged that the work will identify a number of new management stratergies for this common condition.
Modernizing The Knowledge Base For Reproductive Health Care: Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis As The New Standard For Evidence Synthesis In Reproductive Health.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$575,662.00
Summary
Characteristics of sick persons differ, and criteria that have been used to include them in studies may not match the individual profile of individuals who typically present to the health system. I propose a step towards more personalised medicine, which is new in the field of reproductive health. In a global collaboration, we plan to collect individual participant data of studies, and develop clinical rules and guidelines that tailor the individual profile of the sick individual.
