My research focuses on early vascular aging in children, adolescents, and young adults. By analyzing global data, I have established reference values for pulse wave velocity, a biomarker that estimates arterial stiffness. These biomarkers are crucial for assessing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in young people. Identifying people who are at higher risk early on enables timely intervention and prevention strategies. Ultimately, my research aims to improve cardiovascular health outcomes by providing a global standard for evaluating vascular health in children, adolescents, and young adults.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
