Abstract

Clinical Sciences research cluster inflammatory processes health and disease
Researchers at USC, SHSS have submitted an Expression of Interest in the establishment of a Research Cluster. The proposed name of the Cluster is 'Inflammatory Processes in Health and Disease'. The research program aims to investigate the molecular, immunological, and physiological mechanisms underlying inflammatory processes; the role of environmental and host factors and their interaction in the development and progression of inflammation; and to take a multidisciplinary approach to develop methods for prevention, diagnosis, and interventions to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. The long-term goal of the Cluster is to contribute substantially to sustainable improvements in individual health outcomes related to dysfunctional inflammatory processes. We will achieve this by excellence in research, building on existing knowledge and filling evidence gaps, and in so doing contribute to the national health agenda and NHMRC identified national health priorities in cardiovascular and chronic respiratory disease. Key personnel include A/Prof Shelley Walton (Director), Dr Fraser Russell, Dr Kate Mounsey, A/Prof Mohammad Katouli, Dr Anna Kuballa, Dr Dale Lovell, Dr Peter Brooks, Dr Joanne Macdonald.
