Professor Marianne Chapman - TITLEHOLDER
Senior Staff Specialist, Intensive Care, Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Clinical Professor, School of Medicine, University of Adelaide.

Professor Chapman is a Senior Staff Specialist in Intensive Care Medicine at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and a Clinical Professor in the School of Medicine at the University of Adelaide.

Her primary degree was from Flinders University of South Australia, graduating in 1982. She trained as an anaesthetist in Plymouth in the UK and worked in Kenya for 12 months before returning to complete intensive care training in Adelaide in 1990. She then spent a further year working in the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem in ‘93/94. She has a PhD from the University of Adelaide which involved the investigation of abnormalities in gastrointestinal motility underlying problems with the administration of nutrition to the critically ill.

She has been the Director of Research in the ICU at the Royal Adelaide Hospital since 1998 and is the chairman of the RAH ICU research committee. She was previously a member of the Board of Examiners of the College of Intensive Care Medicine and was involved in a number of other committees including the Formal Project Assessment Panel – College of Intensive Care Medicine, the Abstract Review Committee for the Australian & New Zealand Intensive Care Society, and the Intensive Care Foundation Scientific Committee.

Professor Chapman's clinical research interests include gastrointestinal dysfunction underlying problems with the administration of nutrition, and glucose metabolism in the critically ill. This work is the result of a very successful collaboration with the Departments of Medicine and Gastroenterology in the University of Adelaide, the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the Repatriation General Hospital and forms part of a Centre of Clinical Research Excellence grant from the NH&MRC awarded in 2007.

She currently supervises PhD and honours students undertaking clinical research in the ICU at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. She has published over 100 journal articles, received over $5 million in research funding, and has given invited presentations at national and international meetings.
