Infectious Diseases research

The Department of Infectious Diseases, Alfred Health and Monash University incorporates a large clinical service and research program. 

About our research

The Department of Infectious Diseases integrates clinical services with biomedical research and teaching. Our expertise spans from general infectious diseases to HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, and tuberculosis.

Our focus

We have active research studies in:

  • HIV
  • Viral hepatitis
  • Infections in the immunosuppressed (malignancy, intensive care and post-splenectomy patients)
  • Influenza
  • Drug resistant organisms
  • Antibiotic use
  • Infection prevention and hospital epidemiology
