We conduct research on cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndromes, and diseases in order to better understand, detect, and prevent them. The leading causes of death and disability in Australia are heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and diabetes. We aim to reduce the significant burden of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndromes and diseases in Australia and around the world.
