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.

Carolyn Sue is a neurologist and scientist investigating the role of disturbed mitochondrial function in human disease. Mitochondria play a key role in maintaining energy levels and the cell’s health. When this function is impaired, cells may degenerate or die, and thus cause human disease. Dr Sue’s research is aimed at seeking improved treatments to treat mitochondrial disease and to further understanding about how brain cells degenerate when the mitochondria fail.

Summary
The goal of this work is to use state-of-the-art research methods to improve clinical practice and the health outcomes for patients with mitochondrial disease and other neurological disorders. Professor Sue will undertake an integrated program involving clinical studies, bioinformatics, tissue culture and in vitro cell modelling to discover better ways to treat mitochondrial disease and other neurological diseases due to impaired mitochondrial function.
