Investigating a Genetic Link in Alcoholic Liver Disease

Centenary Institute researchers have uncovered new genetic causes of inherited heart conditions, providing families with vital answers to guide treatment and prevention.

The Centenary Institute has shared the beauty of science with the wider community through its When Art Meets Science exhibition, featured at Government House Sydney as a part of Sydney Open Day.

Associate Professor Patrick Bertolino, Head of the Centre for Infection & Immunity at the Centenary Institute, and Associate Professor David Bowen from the same centre, have been awarded a 2025 Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) Project Grant. The $50,000 grant will support their study ‘Decoding Microbiome–Liver Communication via Portal Tracts.’

The Centenary Institute has contributed to a major international study that has mapped how the human body responds to respiratory infections at a molecular level.
