Researchers from the Ritchie Centre and Department of
Paediatrics attended the Australasian Sleep Association Annual Conference in
Adelaide last week.
The group demonstrated that they are leaders in this field
of research with their large number of presentations which showcased the
breadth of their research.
Associate Professor Gillian Nixon, Deputy Director
of the Melbourne Children's Sleep Centre gave two plenary talks on the
consequences of sleep disordered breathing in children while Professor Rosemary
Horne participated in a symposium on cardiorespiratory interactions and
the role of sleep, arousal and hypoxia from inutero to adulthood and from bench
to bedside.
The Monash researchers, including postdoctoral fellow Dr Lisa Walter, and
students Dr Moya Vandeleur and Ms Knarik Tamanyan presented 7 posters and
4 oral presentations. Knarik (pictured) was awarded a travel
grant to attend. Postdoctoral research fellow Dr Sarah Biggs chaired the conference.
