Biomedical education and research assistant, Isabel, is one of the Herston Biofabrication Institute’s (HBI) biggest advocates. The first of its kind, HBI is changing the way we approach medicine with 3D scanning, printing, modelling of bone, cartilage and human tissue and Isabel is eager to share that knowledge with the next generation.

A research team from the Queensland Lung Transplant Service at TPCH is bringing new hope to patients like Lucas who suffer from chronic lung disease. 🫁
The ’Telo-Scope’ Study is investigating a new treatment aimed at reversing cell ageing to slow the progression of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious chronic disease that affects the tissue surrounding the air sacs, or alveoli, in the lungs.
Pulmonary Fibrosis and Lung Transplant Physician, Dr John Mackintosh said that existing treatments only target the end stage of the disease process, when most of the damage has already been done
“Through our trial, we are hoping to target the underlying cause of pulmonary fibrosis, with the idea being that if we are able to lengthen a person’s telomeres this might ameliorate the progression of lung fibrosis,” Dr Mackintosh said.
“In the long term, our goal is to identify a treatment that provides much improved survival and quality of life for patients with this debilitating disease.” 💙
We have an amazing team at the PCH 🙏🙏🫁

Australian government is ridiculous
Heart disease has been one the most significant disease in the US now, and its killing really fast, and the government are only producing medical drugs that can suppress it but rather keep on eliminating the African herbal doctors who were able to discover a way to completely cure the virus...I'm delighted to be finally cured of hearts disease after i applied Dr Ozemoya herbal medicine for two weeks,,, I can tell you, I went back a month later to confirm my status and i was negative.. If i could get cured, why do you think You can't?, reach out to him Drozemoya23
The Prince Charles Hospital has expanded their Short Stay Treatment Area within the Emergency Department, meaning more capacity to care for the growing North Brisbane community! 🙌
TPCH Emergency Medicine Staff Specialist Francesco “Joe” Passantino said short stay units are used for patients who require additional monitoring without the need for hospital admission.
“We treat a range of patients in our Short Stay Treatment Area including mild concussions, elderly patients who have had a fall, or patients requiring short-term IV antibiotics.”
“The refurbishment allows us to spend extra time with these patients before deciding next steps, and also improves our ability to move patients through the emergency department more effectively.” 🥰
Very cool💜💜💜

Geoff's life changed in an instant when he received a shock diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis four and a half years ago. 🫁
Pulmonary fibrosis is essentially scarring of the lungs and there are many types. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the term used when the cause of the disease is not known.
Lucky for Geoff, he has been put on a clinical trial at TPCH; with nurse Cathy there for support and education, as they try to slow down the process of this life threatening and complex disease.
"Looking back, I was short of breath for a while, but didn’t realise there was something wrong. I just persevered and pushed through," Geoff said.
"The benefit of being in this trial means I can ring Cathy at any time with any questions I might have. There is no cure, but the hope is to halt it from progressing."
Best wishes Geoff 🙏
Thanks for your service Cathy
Professor John Fraser from the Critical Care Research Group based at TPCH, has recently been announced as the official ambassador for the Brisbane Economic Development Agency’s MedTech Global Accelerator program (BEDA). 🙌
The successful program, now in its second year, is designed to fast-track global investment opportunities for early-stage ventures in Brisbane and open international market pathways.
“Brisbane is a beating heart of vibrancy, growth and development. The city is already seen as punching well above its weight in the MedTech industry. I’m honoured to fly the flag and help push the city even further by amplifying Brisbane’s credentials as a leading destination for technology and innovation in the health sector," said Professor John Fraser. 💙
