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.
Recent Achievements
