The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Developing And Applying Statistical Genetics Methods To Identify Genes, Molecular Biomarkers And Environmental Agents That Causally Affect Risk Of Complex Musculoskeletal Diseases
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$707,370.00
Summary
My aim is to identify genes, biological molecules and environmental factors that causally affect risk of osteoporosis and ankylosing spondylitis (a form of autoimmune arthritis) using novel and existing statistical genetics methodologies. My research will advance understanding of the causes of these diseases, identify new opportunities for their treatment, and provide the scientific community with new statistical methods and software to identify factors that causally influence risk of disease.
