معرفی
Graeme Polglase is a Professor (Research) in the Department of Paediatrics at Monash University and Monash Health, affiliated with The Ritchie Centre and the Hudson Institute of Medical Research. He is a leading expert in neonatal and perinatal physiology, focusing on the transition at birth, resuscitation, and organ protection in preterm and compromised infants.
- PhD from Monash University (2005)
- Former Manager, Department of Women's and Infants' Health, University of Western Australia
- Established the Perinatal Transition Research Group at Monash in 2011
- Active Principal Chief Investigator on multiple NHMRC and international grants
Dr Polglase’s research investigates pulmonary, cardiovascular, and cerebral circulation dynamics in newborns, particularly how birth interventions influence organ inflammation and injury. His work combines preclinical models with translational outcomes, aiming to refine neonatal resuscitation practices and improve survival without brain damage. His studies on physiologically-based cord clamping, abdominal compression during resuscitation, and neuroprotection have informed international guidelines.
His recent publications (2023–2025) focus on reducing cerebrovascular injury, optimizing respiratory support after caesarean delivery, and using neuroimaging for early brain injury detection. These works reflect a strong trend in integrating physiology, imaging, and clinical innovation to enhance neonatal outcomes.
Scientific recognition includes:
- NHMRC Early Career Fellowship
- NHMRC Career Development Fellowship
- Inaugural Rebecca L. Cooper Medical Research Fellowship
- Funding from NIH, National Heart Foundation, Cerebral Palsy Alliance
Dr Polglase leads major research projects such as Reducing Cerebrovascular Injury in Newborns and Phase-Contrast Neuroimaging for Early Detection of Brain Injury at Birth. He collaborates widely across Monash, The Ritchie Centre, and international partners. His team uses advanced preclinical models, particularly in ovine systems, to simulate human neonatal conditions and test interventions. His research is highly translational, with findings cited in Australian and international resuscitation guidelines. He also contributes to public understanding through media engagement, including interviews on innovations like resuscitation while attached to the placenta.
