Our Research Group focuses on understanding the mechanisms that contribute to systemic and pulmonary hypertension as well as ischemic stroke and to identify new therapies that can be used to treat these debilitating disorders.
Whether you want to research, invest, donate or partner with us to accelerate our life-changing discoveries, we'd be delighted to hear from you. We have opportunities for PhD students, post docs and senior researchers to join our lab. Feel free to contact Associate Professor Barbara Kemp-Harper or Associate Professor Brad Broughton with any queries.
We're part of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, and a member of the Cardiovascular Program and the Department of Pharmacology.
