Innovative studies led by Monash experts are set to improve health outcomes for First Nations people and rural communities:

A study led by Monash University and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity identified a gene variant affecting immune response in First Nations people, providing insights for tailored vaccines and immunotherapies.
Dr. Rochelle Hine from Monash Rural Health is investigating holistic healing approaches with Aboriginal researchers and international partners to enhance mental health outcomes in rural areas.
