Precision Genomics in Intensive Care Medicine Research Group

The Genomics team leads intensive care medicine research at Nepean Hospital and WIMR, focusing on the immunology of infectious diseases like sepsis, influenza, and COVID-19. Our goal is to commercialise findings and develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our research has secured significant funding, resulted in high-impact publications, and led to the development of a patented biomarker that differentiates viral from bacterial pneumonia.
