Research
We are actively involved in tertiary research at all levels of medical and surgical allergy, rhinologic and respiratory care. Our projects involve both international collaborations, and multi-centre studies within Australia. Both Prof Harvey and Rimmer speak regularly at national and international meetings on allergy, rhinologic and respiratory research.
Please contact either A/Prof Richard Harvey or Nadine Mrad if you would like more information about our research, or are interested in becoming involved in any of the projects listed below.
- Implantable therapies for nasal allergy
- UV light therapy for allergic disease
- The influence of mucus rheological changes (viscosity) on the sensation of post-nasal drip
