Current appeals
Epilepsy research
The Epilepsy and Personalised Medicine Group undertakes highly multidisciplinary translational research that covers a broad spectrum of areas in relation to epilepsy. We are interested in improving treatment outcomes by changing the conventional ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach used in managing epilepsy to a more individualised, personalised paradigm.

Skin Bioengineering
Severe burns are associated with considerable morbidity, mortality and psychosocial impacts. They are also among the most expensive traumatic injuries to treat and manage, entailing long periods of hospitalisation and rehabilitation, and costly wound and scar treatment.
Our Skin Bioengineering Laboratory, located in the Department of Surgery, is uniquely positioned to address challenges in burns treatment. We are part of the Victorian Adult Burns Service, the Alfred Health-run statewide service for all adult severely injured burns patients. We are committed to a bench-to-bedside model of research to develop life saving therapies and achieve better long-term patient outcomes, with several clinical trials in progress.

Gastroenterology, Immunology, and Neuroscience (GIN) Discovery Program
90% of chronic health conditions are linked to interactions between the gut, immune system, and the brain. The GIN Program’s research goes beyond traditional boundaries by viewing chronic health conditions through an integrated lens, centering on the gut-immune-brain axis. We must understand this nexus of the gastrointestinal, immune, and nervous systems as an interconnected system. This is pivotal in understanding and treating an array of conditions—including allergies, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, as well as neurological conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Community and Researcher Engagement (CaRE)
School of Translational Medicine (STM) is committed to improving engagement and participation of members of the community within our health and medical research programs. Community representatives (often referred to as 'Consumers'), who have a lived experience of a health issue, provide a unique and valuable perspective on health and medical research. The CaRE team works to develop and establish partnerships between consumers and researchers within our school to foster a person centred approach to our research and evaluation.
