Current Research Activities
Our current research activities involve:
-
- Role of artificial intelligence in surgery (https://www.acmd.org.au/projects)
-
- Health economics
-
- Role of probiotics in surgery
-
- Prehabilitation in cancer surgery
-
- Bariatric surgery
-
- Body composition
-
- Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
-
- Predicting response to neoadjuvant treatment in oesophageal adenocarcinoma
-
- Hiatus hernia and reflux disease.
These projects involve collaborations at both local and international level and have culminated in numerous publications and presentations. In collaboration with OESO, an international society focused on diseases of the oesophagus and Stanford University, we have also been recognised as a centre of excellence in the study of oesophageal diseases (http://www.oeso.org/pilot-centers.html). As part of this role, we offer an annual training day focusing on the management of oesophageal conditions.
