Event Description
- Full Description:
- The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute is striving to change the face of chronic disease. Diabetes, inflammatory arthritis, infection and cancers - diseases which have long been considered life-threatening or life-debilitating - are being broken down by our researchers to prevent disease, alleviate pain, improve health and extend life expectancies.
The past decades have seen many great advances in understanding disease mechanisms. This has not, however, necessarily translated into commensurate gains in new disease treatment, diagnostics and prevention strategies. In this stimulating debate, structured in the form of a trial, we ask what advances have really been made, what is changing and why we should continue to support research into chronic disease.
