Heart and kidney disease research wins national funding
University of Adelaide researchers taking a new look at the science and physiology underlying heart attacks and strokes, the leading cause of death worldwide, and devising a new tool to maximise the benefits of kidney transplantation, are among the recipients of National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funding announced today.
Associate Professor Peter Psaltis will lead a team of researchers investigating atherosclerosis, the build-up of fatty plaques inside the body’s arteries, which is the main underlying cause of heart attack and stroke. His team has been awarded $728,000 under the NHMRC’s Ideas Grants scheme for innovative and creative health and medical research.
