Alfred Respiratory Medicine research seeks to advance knowledge, clinical care and patient outcomes in respiratory disease. Our research expertise spans laboratory-based research, clinical research, clinical trials, epidemiology and registry-based studies, qualitative research and implementation of research into practice.
Alfred Health is home to one of Australia’s largest departments of respiratory medicine. Respiratory medicine provides a unique environment for our research in diverse patient groups including:
We have a particular focus on advanced lung disease, with active research programs in adult and paediatric lung transplantation.
Our Respiratory Medicine research program is enhanced by state of the art respiratory and sleep physiology services. We offer clinical trials testing new respiratory treatments across the research pipeline, from first-in-disease to large Phase III and IV studies.
Respiratory Medicine research is multidisciplinary, linking senior clinician scientists, bench scientists, allied health professionals, primary care physicians and the community.
Our clinical and academic base is located at The Alfred, with experimental and clinical research laboratories located within the hospital and in the laboratories of Monash University at the Alfred Research Alliance.
In addition to our strong partnership with Monash University, we have research collaborations with a range of national and international partners including universities, research institutes, hospitals, industry, and leaders in patient advocacy.
