Summary
Mitochondrial disease (MD) is the most common inherited metabolic condition. MD can be diagnosed by using whole genome sequencing (WGS) and enables treatment and accurate family planning. We will create a web-base platform to support the diagnosis and treatment of patients with or suspected to have MD. Using a custom-built web-based platform, telemedicine and automated software we will integrate care by primary care givers and MD experts to deliver a precise genetic diagnosis to our MD patients.

Summary
Syphilis has been resurgent in many countries including Australia. Our research will evaluate novel strategies to improve syphilis testing, surveillance, and control and ensure these new strategies are effective at targeting affected groups attending health services. The research findings will help guide better syphilis testing and control by health care providers, pathology services and health policy makers.
