$1.5M grant for project to make more heart transplants possible
L-R: Dr Rouchong Ou, Mr Jonathan Nevile & Prof Frank Rosenfeldt. Absent: Dr John Woodard |
Professor Frank Rosenfeldt heads a team of four researchers working on a new project to enable the production of a device to perfuse transplant donor hearts. The project, based at the Alfred and Monash University, has received a $1.5M government grant to develop a device which will reduce the damage produced by ice storage and enable hearts to be resuscitated and used as human transplants. Once produced, this device will make
it possible to keep donor hearts viable over long distances in Australia and
even from New Zealand.

Congratulations to Dr Lachlan Gray, featured on 'Science' careers website
Dr Lachlan Gray was recently interviewed for an article in Science Careers, part of
the journal Science, on his research areas and future prospects. Lachlan is a senior postdoctoral fellow at the Burnet Institute in Melbourne whose area of study is HIV. While it is no longer the death sentence it
was when it was first discovered 3 decades ago, HIV is proving extremely
difficult to eradicate. Lachlan is one of a small number of scientists
worldwide trying to shed light on how HIV spreads to the brain, where it
can cause neurocognitive disorders and establish viral reservoirs that
make it resistant to the available drugs. See link for detail.
