The Pulmonary Fibrosis Australasian Clinical Trials (PACT) Network is delighted to announce that Dr Cheng Zhao from the University of Sydney has been awarded the 2025 PACT Grant-in-Aid for Investigator-Led Pulmonary Fibrosis Clinical Research for her project ‘Enhancing understanding of environmental causes of pulmonary fibrosis through geographically targeted air pollution monitoring.’
This competitive grant, valued at up to $30,000, supports high-quality, investigator-initiated clinical research aligned with PACT’s mission to facilitate clinical trial activity that maximises local capacity for the development of therapies that reduce morbidity and mortality and enhance quality of life for people living with pulmonary fibrosis.
‘We are thrilled to support Dr Zhao’s innovative research, which represents the calibre of investigator-led work that drives progress in pulmonary fibrosis,” said PACT Network Project Manager Jennifer Wash.
