Chronic disease is a serious and widespread threat to the health and wellbeing of people both in Australia and overseas. Most notably, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are leading causes of disease burden and premature death. The Non-communicable Disease Unit combines existing world-class expertise and capabilities of Professor Brian Oldenburg and his team, addressing key gaps i

n the prevention and management of chronic disease. Particular areas of focus are:

- Collaborating with industry and other partners in Australia and internationally to develop and rigorously evaluate digital health programs for the prevention and management of chronic disease.

- Developing, implementing and evaluating ‘real world’ lifestyle and community-based interventions to improve the prevention and control of chronic disease in resource constrained settings and countries;

- Understanding the multiple determinants and complex pathways to the causation and outcome of chronic conditions, including co-morbid mental health conditions;

- Developing and evaluating contemporary approaches to build individual and institutional public health research capacity of developing countries.
