معرفی
Lucy Deng is a Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney's Sydney Medical School and the Children's Hospital at Westmead, part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health (FMH). She leads the AusVaxSafety program, a national vaccine safety surveillance initiative managed by the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS). Her roles combine clinical paediatrics with early career research in vaccine safety and related fields.
Educational Background:
- Bachelor of Medical Science (BMedSci)
- MBBS (Honours)
- Doctorate of Child Health (DCH)
- Master of International Public Health (MIPH)
- PhD in vaccine-related neurological events
- FRACP (Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians)
Research Interests:
Lucy's work focuses on vaccine safety, including immediate and long-term risks of adverse events following immunisation (AEFIs), revaccination management, and adversomics. She has explored severe neurological events like status epilepticus and febrile seizures linked to vaccines, as well as vaccine-preventable diseases and respiratory viruses. Her recent studies investigate personalized medicine approaches for children with genetic predispositions to vaccine reactions, leveraging her role at NCIRS and the Children's Hospital at Westmead.
Publications Trends:
Her articles emphasize vaccine safety surveillance, particularly in Australian contexts. Key themes include RSV vaccine efficacy in elderly populations, post-immunization neurological outcomes, and evaluation of novel delivery methods like the HD-MAP patch. Her research spans epidemiological analysis, clinical cohort studies, and pediatric-specific vaccine protocols.
