Professor Sarah Vreugde Director of Research: ENT Surgery The Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is committed to excellence in translational research and education. Research in our department is focused mainly on understanding the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), using a multidisciplinary approach, aimed at identifying new diagnostic/prognostic markers and treatment strategies to the benefit of our patients. Research projects cover all aspects of rhinological research from pathophysiological aspects of CRS to the identification and validation of new treatment strategies in vitro and in vivo, bringing research from bench to bedside.Our Department of ENT has an excellent track record of Honours and Higher degree supervision with a 100% completion rate. Professor PJ Wormald was recognized for “Excellence in Research Supervision” by The University of Adelaide in 2013. We are always interested in students that have exceptional motivation and are passionate about research and in return we provide them with full support in terms of research supervision direction.

Projects in my laboratory are focused on diseases of the ear, nose and throat. In particular, my research is focused on pathophysiological aspects of chronic rhinosinusitis, aimed at the identification and validation of new diagnostic and treatment strategies in vitro and in vivo. Projects range from defining molecular mechanisms and microbial determinants of chronic inflammation to the validation of anti-bacterial and wound-healing compounds in vitro and in vivo.
