We are conducting a genetic study to better understand why some people are susceptible to RHD and others are not.
The main objective of the study is to establish a comprehensive register of congenital and acquired heart disease in WA with accurate re-classification of all cases through Princess Margart Hospital using international diagnostic codes.
This project aims to develop a longer acting formulation of penicillin, such that frequency of the injection can be increased up to 3-6 months.

Fiji has one of the highest burdens of RHD is in the world and RHD is the second most common cause of death in young people in Fiji.
In remote communities of northern Australia, First Nations children with hearing loss are disproportionately at risk of poor school readiness and performance compared to their peers with no hearing loss. The aim of this trial is to prevent early childhood persisting otitis media (OM), associated hearing loss and developmental delay.
Australian First Nations children are at very high risk of early, recurrent, and persistent bacterial otitis media and respiratory tract infection. With the PREVIX randomised controlled trials, we aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity of novel pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) schedules.
