Each year, thousands of people in Australia are diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis – an incurable condition of the lung that scientists have struggled to understand.
The work of Dr Davis McCarthy (2011 John Monash Scholar), a renowned statistician and genomic scientist, is helping to generate the pathway towards an eventual cure. Collaborating with a global community, Davis’s research searches DNA for answers to some of life’s biggest biological mysteries.
We speak to Davis about his work leading the bioinformatics and cellular genomics group at St. Vincent's Institute in Melbourne, what he sees as some of the biggest opportunities in preventative health care and some of the barriers faced by medical research globally. He reflects on his Scholarship's impact and explains why his time at Oxford helped shape his career trajectory.
