| Dr Adam Dunn
Australian Institute of Health Innovation - Centre for Health InformaticsStatement of Interests:
The variability and dynamics of health care quality across conditions, geo-political boundaries, doctors, facilities is of particular interest. Social network models are used to assess organisational and system-wide behaviour attempting to improve healthcare practices by enhancing communication, dissemination and diffusion of best practices and the translation of new methods, technologies and evidence-based research.

| Dr Thomas Fath
School of Medical SciencesStatement of Interests:
The primary research focus of the lab is on the regulation of the cytoskeleton in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease with a particular interest in the microfilament system. For this we employ cell and tissue cultures, prepared from genetically modified mice which express altered levels of the actin dynamics-regulating protein tropomyosin. Other projects in the lab focus on the role of the cytoskeleton in early neuronal development. Recent outcome of these projects demonstrate that tropomyosin isoforms regulate early processes such as neurite formation in an isoform-specific manner.

| Dr Zhanhai Gao
School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
Dr Zhanhai Gao has qualifications (BSc and MSc) in mathematics & statistics and a PhD in applied mathematics (mathematical modelling). His current research interests include modelling the impact of vaccination on varicella zoster virus epidemiology, modelling and evaluating intervention programs of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C epidemics in Australia (the subject of his PhD thesis). His research work includes modelling infectious disease in livestock (VC's post-doctoral research), dynamical systems and mathematical biology / biomathematics, infectious disease programming and computuing. He is also involved in biostatistics, statistical analysis / computing for medical research, data management and study design for cluster randomisation trials. It is his strong field as well to develop toolbox or stand alone software of easy-to-use form for medical researchers from non-mathematics or computer science background.

| Dr Anthony Kee
School of Medical Sciences - Department of AnatomyStatement of Interests:
Interests are in the fields of muscle physiology and cell biology. Particularly interested in aspects of novel structural and cytoskeletal proteins and complexes and their involvement in normal muscle physiology and disease processes. Diseases of interest include muscular dystrophy and other congenital myopathies, diabetes and obesity. Have an interest in treatment of muscle diseases, including exercise.

| Associate Professor Richard Lock
School of Women's and Children's HealthStatement of Interests:
In the field of cancer the major focus is in defining molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in relapsed childhood leukaemia. New experimental models of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia have been developed that will be used to delineate mechanisms of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and investigate novel biological characteristics of the disease. In addition, these experimental models will be used test novel therapeutic agents/strategies for management of the high-risk or relapsed patient.

| Dr Fabio Luciani
Centre for Infection and Inflammation ResearchStatement of Interests:
In the field of medical sciences, the roles of mathematical modeling and statistical analysis are becoming indispensable. Modeling infectious diseases, in particular HCV and Tuberculosis, are the major area of research. This includes modeling cellular processing of antigens, within host evolution of the pathogens and of specific immune response, and finally the transmission dynamics of the disease and host heterogeneity

| Dr Nicola Man
School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
Research experience in the area of population and quantitative genetics, genetics of disease resistance, statistical analysis of genetic data and simulation studies of populations undergoing genetic selection. Current research interest extend to epidemiology with respect to stochastic modelling of infectious diseases, host-pathogen evolution and statistical analysis of biological and epidemiological data.

| Dr Anthony Newall
School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
The economic evaluation and epidemiology of infectious diseases. He has published economic analyses of prevention strategies for rotavirus, influenza, and human papillomavirus. He is currently working on economic models of pandemic and seasonal influenza prevention. He is an honorary research fellow at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance of Vaccine Preventable Diseases.

| Dr Stephen Palmer
School of Medical SciencesStatement of Interests:
1.Understanding the role of the gene Gtf2ird1 in brain development and human behaviour and its contribution towards the characteristic features of Williams-Beuren syndrome. 2. Understanding the gene regulatory networks involved in the control of muscle fibre type in order to develop strategies to combat the effects of disease and ageing.

School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
Of transmissible diseases, sexually transmitted infections cause the largest burden in the young and youthful. In collaboration with researchers at the National Centre for HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research, the University of Melbourne, La Trobe University and the Australian National University, we are building a model of who has sex with whom, and what they transmit.

| Dr Rosie Thein
National Centre in HIV Epidemiology & Clinical ResearchStatement of Interests:
HIV/AIDS and viral hepatitis epidemiology, mathematical modelling, evidence synthesis, measuring health-related quality of life and utilities, and health services research. She is particularly interested in using dynamic models to assess the impacts of behavioural changes, treatments, vaccination and other prevention strategies on the health and economic burden of HIV/AIDS and viral hepatitis. Current research includes estimation of long-term health care costs attributable to hepatitis C using serological and administrative data, epidemiology of liver cancer and mortality attributable to viral hepatitis and coinfection with HIV in NSW using data linkage techniques, and economic evaluation of current and future costs of hepatitis C in Australia and the potential impact of increased treatment uptake.

St Vincent's Clinical School - Department of MedicineStatement of Interests:
The rhythm of the heart beat is controlled by electrical signals carried by voltage-gated ion channels. Dysfunction of cardiac ion channels can result in arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. There are three main research themes in my laboratory. 1. Structure-function relationships in voltage-gated ion channels with a particular emphasis on hERG K+ channels. 2. The molecular basis of drug binding to hERG potassium channels and drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias. 3. Understanding genotype-phenotype relationships in inherited arrhythmia syndromes.
