Huge congratulations to Professor Michaela Lucas and her Transplant Team on being awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council 2025 Ideas Grant! The project will investigate new targeted treatments for transplant patients.
“The strategies aim to prevent early rejection following transplant surgery and to improve long-term outcomes and quality of life for transplant recipients,” says Prof Lucas.

How often do you look around a supermarket and feel overwhelmed at the amount of plastic packaging? Once you’ve seen it, it’s hard to un-see! 👀🫣

Making a deliberate choice to minimise plastic exposure as a consumer is not always a straightforward equation, but awareness is the first step.

Research from The PERTH Trial is beginning to unravel the effects of all this plastic on our bodies. We are finding essential answers every step of the way, and this is only the beginning.
World-leading research like this brings hope for a healthier future 🙌

Make your gifts plastic-free this Christmas! 🎄

Yes, it takes a little more thought, but this is the season for being thoughtful and kind, after all 😇

These gorgeous boxes were put together using local suppliers. Tags were printed on recycled stock, and tied with cotton string. No stickers or sticky tape was used.

The PERTH Trial exists to find answers to the urgent questions surrounding the effects of plastic exposure on human health.

The protocol paper for Stage 3 has now been published in BMJ Open:

“Bisphenols and phthalates are classes of plastic associated chemicals (PACs) that disrupt endocrine function by interfering with the activity of nuclear and steroidal hormone receptors.
These widespread environmental toxins are linked to human infertility, autoimmune and metabolic conditions, among others.
However, the full extent of their pathobiological impact is not known.
Furthermore, whether endocrine disruption can be reversed by reducing exposure to plastics and PAC remains to be demonstrated.”
