Our group studies the complex workings of the body and its interaction with environment. Our goal is to address fundamental questions about how the body and its environment work and to integrate this knowledge to increase our understanding of the human body as a whole, in both health and disease. This approach involves measuring changes in the body with disease and the impact of interventions and allows us to discover biomedical pathways to improve health while providing the foundational knowledge required for translation into clinical practice. We achieve this through initiating, and being sought for engagement with, strong partnerships with other national and international thought leaders in academia, clinical practice, industry, government and our community.
Our work is disseminated through production of high-quality publications, engagement with end-users and the community at conferences and with public presentations. Our fundamental approach to science provides a strong basis for student engagement across all health science programs, integrating our research into our teaching practices to develop industry ready graduates and engage them in our research endeavours.
Our research pillars represent a new direction in health and chronic disease research, focusing on strong engagement with government, industry, regulatory bodies, policy makers and the community.
Vision
Our vision is to address fundamental questions about how the human body and its environment work and to increase our understanding of the human body in both health and disease.
Our research measures changes in the body with disease and the impact of interventions. This allows us to discover biomedical pathways to improve health while providing the foundational knowledge required for translation into clinical practice. We achieve this through partnering with world-class researchers and leaders in clinical practice, industry, government and our community.
Our foundation is based in collaborative research, connecting academic research with industry, basic science with clinical practice and expertise with teaching and supervision. This creates opportunities for students and staff to connect and engage with numerous partners and end-users locally, nationally and internationally.
Mission
We are facing an epidemic of chronic disease. To achieve a greater understanding of the fundamental nature of these diseases, as well as their measurement and treatment, we take a multidisciplinary approach to address these profound health concerns.
Our world-class researchers within Health and Biomedical Innovation (HBI) are engaged in bringing together expertise across multiple systems of the human body; using a pre-clinical translational approach to establish new connections targeting questions with greater impact.
Our multidisciplinary approach to research provides solutions to addressing health and disease for government, industry, regulatory bodies and the community.
We bring people together, to discuss challenges in health and develop innovative and multidisciplinary solutions to these challenges. Our fundamental approach to science provides evidence to inform government, industry, regulatory bodies and policy makers, providing a strong basis for student learning across all health science programs, integrating our research into our teaching practices to develop industry-ready graduates and engage them in our research endeavours.
