Seventeen Monash Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences academics and PhD students have received funding from the Heart Foundation to conduct research that investigates the cause, prevention, and treatment of heart disease, stroke and related conditions.
A wide range of projects has been funded, including reducing complications with artificial heart-lung machines and reducing the risk of heart and vascular disease in stroke survivors, a strategy to reduce heart disease and diabetes risk in women who had gestational diabetes, and reducing bleeding in the brain in babies that received CPR at birth.
Deputy Dean of Research Professor James Whisstock congratulated this year’s successful researchers.
Professor Whisstock said: “Cardiovascular disease has remained the leading cause of death globally for more than two decades. Improving cardiovascular health continues to be a key focus for our vast network of researchers and partners. Many congratulations to all recipients.”
