For over 40 years researchers at the Garvan Institute have been
dedicated to the kind of medical research that aims to relieve human
suffering and improve quality of life. Our work encompasses a range of
diseases that can affect people from early childhood through to late in
life. Garvan News Finding that could shed light on "golden staph", candida and allergiesMEDIA RELEASE: 01 Jul 2008 Recent scientific findings explain why people with Hyper IgE Syndrome, or ‘Job’s Syndrome’, are unusually susceptible to certain common infections. By revealing the exact molecular mechanisms involved, they also give us clues as to why some ‘healthy’ people are more prone to these infections than others, and suggest potential treatments.More Silencing of molecular 'conversation' may help curb severe allergiesMEDIA RELEASE: 30 Jun 2008 Scientists in Sydney have identified a process, a synergistic encounter between two molecules, that may account for the extreme allergic reactions some people experience. By silencing at least one of these molecules, it may be possible to treat allergies.More Are the benefits of growth hormone in the athlete's mind?25 Jun 2008 A new study undertaken by scientists in Garvan's Pituitary Research Unit demonstrates the 'placebo effect' in sport.
