Infectious disease, immunity & inflammation

Three masks hanging on hooks on a wall

The School of Clinical Medicine’s research projects in infectious disease, immunity and inflammation focus on understanding, preventing and treating complex infections and conditions. We do this through collaborative partnerships with clinical campuses, public health researchers, infectious disease physicians and government bodies.

Common lung diseases of childhood (CoLD)

Our research group aims to determine the socio-demographic and modifiable factors associated with poor health outcomes in children with common respiratory disease.

South West Sydney Gastroenterology and Liver Services

Our research unit translates clinical medicine to enhance the outcomes of patient treatment including clinical medicine, laboratory-based virology and immunology research, qualitative methods, and epidemiology.

St Vincent's Gastrointestinal, Liver and Microbiome Research Unit

Our research group aims to improve the health and nutrition of infants, children, and adolescents by optimising their gut health.

Gastroenterology Research Group

Our research group aims to improve the health and nutrition of infants, children, and adolescents by optimising their gut health.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Research Group

We promote and expand evidence-based clinical practice in Inflammatory Bowel Disease using different aspects of care including drugs, patient experience, clinical communication.

Paediatric Infectious Diseases group

We’re involved in the development and management of projects improving antibiotic allergy management, the treatment of congenital, neonatal, and paediatric infections, and the treatment and epidemiology of serious infections.

South West Sydney Rheumatology Research Group

Our research group explores the mechanisms operating in musculoskeletal and autoimmune diseases and how they are managed, developing new or improved treatments.

Simpson Centre for Health Services Research

Our research informs key stakeholders and policy makers about more efficient and safer ways of enhancing healthcare practices.

St Vincent’s Centre for Applied Medical Research Group

We’ve established excellence in biomedical and translational research disseminating the results to the medical and scientific community and the public.

Utopia

Our research into paediatric infections brings together researchers from across UNSW and affiliated institutions. We aim to improve interventions and treatments for paediatric infections.

Molecular and Integrative Cystic Fibrosis Research Centre

Our lab is interested in understanding the cellular and molecular processes involved in the regulation of epithelial cell biology and how the breakdown of this regulation leads to pathogenesis of disease such as Cystic Fibrosis.
