Summary
Atherosclerosis (hardening of blood vessels) followed by blockage is the leading cause of death due to heart attacks and strokes. Up until now there has been no simple tests to predict this reliably.The outcome of this project will give us a better understanding of atherosclerosis and provide a simple non-invasive urine test to detect atherosclerosis which would lend clinicians the opportunity to intervene early.

Summary
Shock is one of the most challenging clinical management scenarios experienced by clinicians. It is a syndrome characterised by an imbalance of oxygen delivery and demand particularly in vital organs. Despite the advances in current treatment strategies for patients with shock, there is still significant morbidity and mortality associated with this syndrome. It is the goal of my PhD to develop improved treatment pathways for patients with shock in order to improve their clinical outcomes.

Summary
We aim to convert novel scientific findings to better treating patients with end-stage heart disease. A secondary aim is to train clinicians with a better understanding of sophisticated scientific approaches so they can better transfer this knowledge to health practices and policies. We will study new ways of identifying patients who are likely to suffer from heart attacks as well as those with heart problems who appear to function well but in fact have poor health and life outlook.
