Research Interests
The Faculty maintains an extensive database of individual research profiles. Structured around a fixed list of 70 broad research terms, profiles are maintained by staff themselves and are regularly updated. Be sure to make regular visits...

| Professor Simon Gandevia
Prince of Wales Clinical School - Department of MedicineStatement of Interests:
Our laboratories are broadly concerned with human motor control, both with basic mechanisms and with pathophysioloy. For example we undertake studies in proprioception, the behaviour of muscle spindles and the fusimotor system, and the neural control of hand function. In addition we study the central nervous system control of motoneurones and muscle during fatiguing exercise, and the control of respiratory motoneurones in health and disease.

Studies of respiratory and upper airway motor control, respiratory reflexes and sensations respiratory muscle function in various pulmonary and neuromuscular disorders and obstructive sleep apnoea are undertaken in collaboration with scientists at the Prince of Wales Medical research Institute and the Departments of Liason Psychiatry and Physiotherapy at the Prince of Wales Hospital.

| Professor Paul Thomas
Prince of Wales Clinical School - Department of MedicineStatement of Interests:
Innovative research has emerged from our studies on non-invasive methods of studying airway diseases. We have shown that exhaled nitric oxide is a method by which we can monitor lung diseases such as asthma. In addition, we are studying methods of detecting and monitoring lung diseases such as COPD and lung cancer by using breath analysis. In addition, there is the opportunity to start novel projects in sarcoidosis and the ways in which the lung is affected by diving. The research techniques range from basic molecular biology to clinical trials in the above areas. All the above studies are supported by competitive research grants and any interest in research in the above areas will be encouraged. Many peer-reviewed publications have arisen from these projects, and any participation would be expected to generate presentations and manuscripts. Most ILP students have gained at least one journal article during their study period, while other candidates have achieved more than this.
