Dr Chapman is Deputy Chair of the International Society of Hypertension, Women in Hypertension Research Committee and the Australian Cardiovascular Alliance Emerging Leaders Committee. Niamh is passionate about accessible and engaging communication of science and founded national award-winning radio show and podcast That’s What I Call Science in 2019.
About Professor Grant DrummondGrant Drummond's research focuses on understanding the roles of oxidative stress and the immune system in cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. His work has provided insights into the roles of NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species as cell signalling molecules under physiological conditions, and mediators of oxidative damage in vascular disease. His studies have also shed light on the involvement of inflammasomes and interleukin-18, and B cells and autoantibodies in the development of hypertension and kidney damage.
