Welcome to Professor Natasha Smallwood

A/Prof Natasha Smallwood

Central Clinical School welcomes Associate Professor Natasha Smallwood! A/Prof Smallwood is appointed to a joint Monash University/ Alfred Respiratory Medicine position. She holds a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Emerging Leader grant. She is looking forward to developing multi-disciplinary collaborations widely across the school, and across the precinct. 

Natasha was a UK medical graduate who completed her Advanced training in Respiratory Medicine in Australia (including at the Alfred). She has developed a strong research interest more recently focusing on symptom-based approaches to breathlessness in severe respiratory disease. This has led to considerable publication productivity and success in achieving peer reviewed funding. She has recently received a large 5-year NHMRC grant to support her work. Although a strong clinician, her role will be predominantly research focused. She will initially be located in the Monash University Central Clinical School. Natasha has started with us this week, 1 February 2021.

Please make Natasha very welcome and start talking to her about potential collaborations.

Regards,

Profs Terry O'Brien and Trevor Williams
