Haemodynamic investigation of flow diverter stents for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. This project will explore the engineering of a flow diverter, an endovascular device for the treatment of brain aneurysms. The project will determine the optimal design of new types of flow diverters, which in turn could improve the effectiveness of treatments, thus reducing the associated costs of cerebral haemorrhage and stroke.

Facility for innovation in structural biomaterials engineering. Biomaterials are used in a diverse range of environments that impact on the way that all Australians live. The Facility for Innovation in Structural Biomaterials Engineering will greatly assist researchers to undertake cross-disciplinary projects aimed at improving human health eg. smart materials that assist stem cell therapies for treating deafness and spinal cord injuries, as well the way we live eg. more durable building materia ....Facility for innovation in structural biomaterials engineering. Biomaterials are used in a diverse range of environments that impact on the way that all Australians live. The Facility for Innovation in Structural Biomaterials Engineering will greatly assist researchers to undertake cross-disciplinary projects aimed at improving human health eg. smart materials that assist stem cell therapies for treating deafness and spinal cord injuries, as well the way we live eg. more durable building materials for a sustainable national infrastructure. The facility will help Australia remain at the forefront of these high priority areas and see both individuals and industry benefit from advanced biomaterial products.Read moreRead less
Estimating The Risk of Preterm Birth Using Blood Tests. This research falls under National Research Priority 'A Healthy Start to Life'. The overall aim of this project is to develop risk estimates for preterm birth that may be used in clinical practice for the management of pregnancy. The project is concerned with developing computational methods, software, and a clinical interface that may be used by obstetricians. As well as identifying women at high risk of preterm birth, this approach will a ....Estimating The Risk of Preterm Birth Using Blood Tests. This research falls under National Research Priority 'A Healthy Start to Life'. The overall aim of this project is to develop risk estimates for preterm birth that may be used in clinical practice for the management of pregnancy. The project is concerned with developing computational methods, software, and a clinical interface that may be used by obstetricians. As well as identifying women at high risk of preterm birth, this approach will also help identify women at very low risk of preterm birth, and so those women more suited to management by midwives, either in a hospital or home birth setting.Read moreRead less
