Biography
As a cardiologist at Sydney’s Westmead Hospital, I have seen first-hand the suffering of patients with severe heart failure and also how limited our current treatment options are. Although heart transplantation is a viable option for some, there will never be enough donor organs to supply the increasing demand of our ageing nation. This motivated me to set up my research group at the University of Sydney/Westmead Institute for Medical Research focusing on novel methods to achieve heart regeneration.
