Honouring Vietnam Veterans’ Day

Today, we pause to remember the 524 Australians who lost their lives during the Vietnam War and the nearly 60,000 who served over a decade of conflict.
For many veterans, the battle didn’t end when they came home. Around 1 in 4 developed PTSD, often going undiagnosed for decades.

GMR’s world-first study of Vietnam veterans, in partnership with QUT and RSL Queensland, revealed something groundbreaking: PTSD isn’t just psychological, it’s physical too. Our researchers identified biological markers that may help explain why some people develop PTSD after trauma, while others don’t.

Today, we honour their courage, sacrifice, and the enduring impact on their families. LestWeForget.

Celebrating National Science Week!

We’re thrilled to share that our very own Dr Qi Ruan, Respiratory Research Officer at GMR, has been named one of eight global finalists for the prestigious 2025 Young Investigator Awards!

This recognition comes from the World Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG) at Australian Gastroenterology Week (AGW).

Qi’s research, in collaboration with The University of Queensland, explores a pathway that activates hepatic stellate cells in liver cancer after TACE, making treatment less effective. Her findings show that targeting this pathway could make TACE work better for liver cancer patients.

She’ll present her work to an expert judging panel on 21 September in Melbourne. Join us in wishing Qi the best of luck!

Exactly 80 years ago, Australians spilled onto the streets to celebrate the formal end of the Second World War.

The war had exacted a terrible toll on our nation, and today we remember and reflect on the enormous sacrifices made by Australians to achieve peace.

Queensland proudly remains at the forefront of Australia’s Defence story as the home State to the Nation’s largest population of veterans.

Today, and every day, we thank and remember our servicemen and women for their on-going sacrifice for our country.

Lest We Forget.

Last month, GMR’s Head of Respiratory Research, Professor Rachel Thomson, was invited to present at the Singapore Thoracic Society Annual Scientific Meeting.

A globally recognised expert in nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease, Professor Thomson led a session on NTM environments and transmission and joined a panel discussion on emerging challenges in NTM treatments.

NTM lung disease is a serious condition caused by bacteria found in dust, soil, and water. It can severely damage the lungs and make people very ill, especially vulnerable populations.

“GMR is committed to researching and developing more effective treatments for NTM, as rates continue to rise globally, especially in Queensland,” says Professor Thomson.

We're proud to see GMR research making an impact on the international stage.

Are you part of an ADF family in a caring role? RSL Queensland, in conjunction with Gallipoli Medical Research, are leading a study into the informal care of ADF veterans and their families.

We want to hear from the following family members who provide care for an injured or ill current or ex-serving ADF member:

- Teens (aged 12 to18 years) whose parent cares for a veteran
- Parents of teenagers (aged 12 to 18 years) who care for a veteran
- Adult family caregivers (aged 19+ years)

Help us understand how being part of a military family affects carers in all stages of life.

Please share your lived experience in this 100% anonymous survey: https://rslqld.social/416I3VN.

This study is approved by the Department of Defence and Veterans' Affairs Human Research Ethics Committee (600-24) and proudly supported by RSL Queensland.

Today is MEAO Day—a day to pause to honour the service of all Australian Defence Force personnel who served in the Middle East between 2001 and 2021.

This date marks the anniversary of the final withdrawal of Australian troops from Afghanistan in 2021, bringing to a close Australia’s longest war. In total, about 30,000 ADF personnel served across the region. Sadly, 43 Australians lost their lives, and many more have carried the lasting impacts of service.

GMR is working with RSL Australia on the MEAO Scoping Study, a ground-breaking research project examining the physical and mental health impacts of service. The study will provide vital insights to inform the next phase of national research and support for veterans and their families.

Lest we forget.

This NAIDOC Week, GMR acknowledges and celebrates the rich histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The 2025 theme, "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud," is a call to amplify First Nations voices, strengthen community pride, and honour generations of resistance, survival and leadership.

At GMR, we recognise the ongoing impact of health inequity on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and our medical research into the early detection of liver disease diagnosis and research into chronic lung diseases could provide better health outcomes for indigenous communities in remote areas.

We also acknowledge our Indigenous veterans and respectfully thank all First Nations peoples for their service.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
