Major investment to support cardiac research Heart Research Australia has committed $1.12 million to support heart research at Royal North Shore Hospital in 2026, funding a mix of new and continuing projects across the campus. The investment will support 10 new research grants and the continuation of six existing projects, strengthening clinical and laboratory-based cardiovascular research at the hospital. Projects include work by Dr Chi-Chia Liu on optimising pacemakers, Associate Professor Rebecca Kozor on simpler monitoring of genetic heart disease, and Professor Helge Rasmussen on using an existing medication to treat pre eclampsia during pregnancy. The funding package also includes scholarships for four PhD candidates, supporting the development of the next generation of cardiovascular researchers. “This support means more than a figure on a page. It gives our world-leading researchers the chance to ask bigger questions and deliver better outcomes for patients,” says NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri. “Every dollar represents trust in our work, and we’re incredibly thankful for the opportunity to keep pushing heart research forward.” The full list of recipients is available on the Heart Australia website: https://heartresearch. com.au/2026-grant-recipients/
