Ovarian cancer is a difficult disease to treat, because often women are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease.

Annually more than 900 Australians are diagnosed with follicular lymphoma. The proposed research aims to identify the environmental and genetic causes of this blood cancer. People diagnosed with lymphoma, and an unaffected family member, will be enrolled in a 5-year study in NSW and Victoria.

The congregation of students, who may have similar infectious diseases risks, may amplify infectious disease outbreaks, as seen in the USA. In contrast to the USA, there are no existing requirements at universities in Australia regarding proof of immunisation.

This proposed research addresses the need for real-time tracking of emerging infectious diseases, both spatially and temporally, to inform international and national outbreak response teams, aid in the implementation of real-time containment strategies and ultimately the timely control of emergin

This research will investigate the contribution to the burden of infectious diseases in Australia from travel by migrant Australians who visit friends and relatives in their country of birth.

This is a matched cohort study examining survival and prognostic factors after melanoma diagnosis in kidney transplant recipients. The study is a collaboration with ANZDATA, the University of Sydney, and St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne.

This project utilises health record linkage to quantify the risk of cancer in opioid dependent people registered for pharmacotherapy in NSW. We will examine the relationship between cancer risk and infection with the blood-borne viruses hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.

The successful application of stem cell therapy to muscle disease requires both improved engraftment strategies and a better understanding of muscle stem cell recruitment mechanisms. This project aims to address both issues.

This project investigates how early-life respiratory infection predisposes to a allergic Th2-biased immunological response, which is a prerequisite for the development of allergic asthma, and how airway inflammation is sustained as asthma develops and progresses.

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are severe psychiatric conditions traditionally regarded as separate disease entities, although both are characterized by intermittent periods of disturbance in thought, motivation and aff

This research investigates shared biological vulnerability for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in terms of genetic association with common neurocognitive dysfunction.
