ANNEXIN-A1 MIMETICS: A NOVEL THERAPEUTIC APPROACH FOR TARGETING THE CARDIAC COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Rebecca Ritchie (Principal investigator)

Brief description Diabetes affects almost 2 million Australians, creating an increasing heart failure burden. A/Prof Rebecca Ritchie’s team at Baker IDI are interested in the precise role of cardiac inflammation in the progression of cardiomyopathy resulting from diabetes. Using her exciting discovery that a naturally-occurring anti-inflammatory protein is a key regulator of cardiac muscle cell survival and function, A/Prof Ritchie’s team will develop therapies for diabetic cardiomyopathy based on this protein.
