Prince of Wales Medical Research InstituteStatement of Interests:
From a background in biomechanical engineering, the focus of my research is on how the nervous system responds to mechanical loading - both those loads which cause injury and those which are part of normal function. Our approach spans the range from the whole body through individual tissues, and down to a molecular scale - integrating the data to gain an understanding of the detailed mechanisms of nervous system injury. We use techniques from MRI to crash testing to study the range of how the body responds to injury.

Despite similar levels of LV dysfunction, patients with heart failure vary in their ability to function. This is yet to be adequately explained and may relate to how the heart and arterial system interact (ventriculovascular coupling). Sometimes the best treatements involve mechanical devices, although again the interaction with the arterial system is significant. As part of the Heart Failure & Transplant Unit, these, and other areas, are investigated.

Prince of Wales Medical Research InstituteStatement of Interests:
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is important for maintaining visual stability during tasks that move the head rapidly and unpredictably, for example, as occurs during running or when driving on a bumpy road. The vestibular organs, one in each inner ear, sense rotational and linear head motion and move the eyes to compensate for passive head movements. The vestibular organ can be damaged by disease, degenerative conditions and by chemical or surgical interventions. When both vestibular organs are damaged it can be severely debilitating. The research in this laboratory has two closely related goals: 1) to understand the signal processing mechanisms that control the VOR by analysing vestibular-evoked eye movements and single-unit (vestibular nerve) recordings; and 2) to apply this knowledge of basic vestibular physiology to the diagnosis and treatment of balance disorders in humans.

Australian Institute of Health Innovation - Centre for Health InformaticsStatement of Interests:
I am primarily interested in larger-than-gene structures in DNA, they recognition, annotation and discovery. We use machine learning, computational grammars and inference methods to computationally discover structures and genes. I am also interested in multi-scale and multi-method models (aka multi-models) to support clinical and bioscience decision making.
