Inflammation is a fundamental part of many diseases and a prime
target for therapeutic interventions. The tissue inflammation and
injury repair research program is linking basic research on
inflammation and repair with new approaches to treating
inflammation and promoting repair. This includes a focus on a
range of injuries such as burns, infection and arthritis, as well
as damage caused by genetic and autoimmune diseases.
Research Groups:

Professor Nicholas Fisk
The Fisk Group works on the role of fetal mesenchymal stem cells in
tissue repair, both the development stem cell transplantation to
repair debilitating early onset genetic disease, and their wider
application to childhood and adult diseases. This clinical fetal
medicine group, in collaboration with colleagues in the hospital's
Centre for Advanced Prenatal Care, works on the twin twin
transfusion syndromes, in particular optimising results of current
laser and other therapies.

Professor David Paterson
Professor Paterson is an Infectious Diseases Physician studying the
molecular and clinical epidemiology of infections with antibiotic
resistant organisms. With clinical expertise in managing infections
in critically ill and immunocompromised patients, Professor
Paterson seeks the optimal way to prevent and treat these
infections.
