Towards the elimination of tuberculosis and rheumatic heart disease in northern Australia and our region [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Anna Ralph (Principal investigator)

Brief description My research program addresses tuberculosis and rheumatic heart disease, which are leading challenges for Northern Australia and our region. Both are diseases caused by infections with long-term complications. They cause illness and death in young Aboriginal people and neighbouring Southeast Asian populations. There are many gaps in our ability to effectively detect and prevent these diseases. My research targets these gaps, from cutting-edge science to translation of guidelines into practice.
