Gabriella Tikellis

Gabriella Tikellis is a Research Fellow at Monash University, affiliated with the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health and the Department of Immunology at Alfred Hospital. She is actively involved in epidemiological research through roles at the Australasian Cochrane Centre and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, where she contributes to major international consortia such as the International Childhood Cancer Cohort Consortium (I4C) and the SEA-URCHIN project.

Her research interests span a broad range of public health and clinical epidemiology domains, with a focus on early determinants of infant health, respiratory diseases (including interstitial lung disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), eye diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and cancer. She has extensive experience in systematic reviews, qualitative evidence synthesis, and cohort-based studies.

Recent publications highlight her work on patient-centered care in chronic respiratory conditions, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her research analyzes self-management strategies, telehealth experiences, and barriers to optimal care, contributing to improved healthcare models for patients with ILD and IPF. She is also a Chief Investigator on the SilicosisCare project, which aims to optimize support for individuals with silicosis.

Her scientific contributions include numerous peer-reviewed articles in high-impact respiratory and public health journals. Notable outputs include systematic and scoping reviews published in the European Respiratory Review, as well as original research in Respirology and BMC Pulmonary Medicine.
