CREATE

The NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Pulmonary Fibrosis is dedicated to building research capacity in the area of Pulmonary Fibrosis research, and CREATE (CRE-Advanced Training Environment) represents a unique opportunity for students and clinicians interested in pursuing research in this field. In particular, our focus is on providing high quality researcher development support to postgraduate research students and post-doctoral researchers.

CREATE Fellows

Some of our CREATE Fellows and Alumni: Dr Alan Teoh, Dr Helen Jo, Mr David Waters, Mr Kaj Blokland, Dr Yet Khor and Dr Jade Jaffar.

 

Vision

Our vision is to train CREATE Fellows who can enter the workforce skilled up and capable of developing and translating knowledge from bench-to-bedside with the outcome of improving cardiopulmonary health status of the Australian population.

 

Goals

  1. Enhance clinical and basic science research training to produce the next generation of outstanding PF researchers using formalised mentoring and training environments.
  2. Enhance the training relevance to career progression through the use of novel curriculum elements including ethics and professional skills such as grant and manuscript writing.
  3. Focus on the translational pathway from basic biomedical discoveries to clinical research and to clinical practice. We add innovative curriculum content to teach effective translation to colleagues, students, decision makers, and the public. We include practical collaborative exposure to commercialisation pathways for translating discoveries from bench-to-bedside.
