The BEN study aims to understand the relationship between foodborne gastrointestinal infections and environmental risk factors in Timorese infants that may lead to subsequent child malnutrition and stunting.

This collaborative project seeks to harness rapid advances in genomics, epidemiology and mathematical modelling to identify risks and reduce human illnesses from Campylobacter in Australia.

This partnership project with the Heart Foundation of Australia, Consumer Health Forum and NSW Health’s Agency for Clinical Innovation aims to quantify and prioritise targets for intervention across the spectrum of CVD risk factors, incidence, care and outcomes according to socioeconomic, rural/urban residence, Indigenous and mental health status.

The project will: quantify socioeconomic variation in fatal burden of disease; develop an ‘Index of Preventive Potential’ across major causes of death, to focus/prioritise interventions; quantify inter-relations between socioeconomic disadvantage, gender and rurality; and quantify variation in CVD prevention and end-of-life care.

This study will investigate the trends, burden and sources of Salmonella in Australia, as well as examine the public health implications of new Salmonella testing and typing technologies.

This project will create a novel whole-of-population linked data platform to provide strong evidence on health and health care to inform health policy and practice.
