A/Prof Christina Bursill (BSc (Hons 1) PhD, Adelaide University; Postdoc, Oxford University, UK) is a leader in cardiovascular biology for her expertise in the biology and mechanisms of atherosclerotic plaques, the fatty deposits in the blood vessels of the heart that cause heart attacks. A/Prof Bursill also has expertise in the mechanisms of angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation that is critical for tissue repair following a heart attack and also for wound healing that is impaired in diabetes.She is Director of the Vascular Research Centre at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and the University of Adelaide and has held two National Heart Foundation (NHF) Fellowships. As CIA she has received >$4.5 million in competitive national research funding in the last 4 years. A/Prof Bursill has published >100 manuscripts, supervised >18 PhD students to completion and currently leads a research team of ten people.A/Prof Bursill is Chair the South Australian Cardiovascular Research network which seeks to bring together cardiovascular researchers from across all South Australia to foster collaboration and drive research excellence and advocacy. She is currently a Board member of the International Atherosclerosis Society and has held positions in the leading cardiovascular bodies nationally including an elected board member (Treasurer) for the Australian Cardiovascular Alliance (ACvA) and was the past-President of the Australian Atherosclerosis Society.

Our group is interested in investigating new mechanisms and targets that underlie the development of fatty deposits in the arteries of the heart, a process called atherosclerosis, that causes heart attacks. We also undertake research looking at the regulation of new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), which can determine how well a heart attack patient recovers. We have a host on pathophysiologically relevant in vitro and in vivo models established in our laboratory. 

Project 1

Title: The effect of fenofibrate on wound healing

Description: Human trials have found that the risk of amputation following a foot ulcer is reduced with fenofibrate (Vitamin B) supplementation. In vitro and in vivo studies have also shown that angiogenesis is increased with the addition of fenofibrate. This study will determine if topically applied fenofibrate increases would healing in an in vivo model established in our laboratory.

Project available for: Honours

Location: SAHMRI

Research project start: Semester 1

Project 2

Title: The role of the glycoprotein receptor ASGR1 in unstable atherosclerosis

Description: A GWAS study has identified that a mutation in ASGR1 reduces the risk of a cardiovascular event by 34%. The mechanisms for this are poorly understood and will be investigated using in vitro and in vivo models in this project.
