Director, The Ritchie Centre

Session: Using large animal translational models and how to do it better – Wednesday 14 May (8.30-10am)
Suzie Miller was appointed Director of The Ritchie Centre in 2022 and she holds a National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia Fellowship. Suzie leads the Neurodevelopment and Neuroprotection Theme in the Ritchie Centre, with her research utilising experimental large animal models of the primary causes of perinatal brain injury – including foetal growth restriction, intrauterine infection, preterm birth, and perinatal asphyxia – to better understand the progression of neuropathology, so that targeted interventions can be implemented. Suzie and her clinical and research colleagues are working towards the translation of neuroprotective therapies before or after birth, so that neonatal brain injury can be reduced, and neurodevelopmental deficits might be prevented. Suzie is also a keen advocate for the role of women in biomedical science, and a founding member of the NHMRC Women in Health Science Committee.
