Oncology and Prostate Cancer

Clinical research in prostate cancer focuses on advanced imaging, lesion detection, and treatment strategies for metastatic hormone-sensitive disease and PSMA-positive tumours.

  • PSMA-PET
  • mpMRI
  • Radiographic progression-free survival
  • Histopathologic validation

The sponsor also supports work on identifying clinically relevant intra-prostatic sub-regions and refining imaging-based assessment in high-risk disease.

Infectious Disease and Vaccine Immunology

Research activity includes COVID-19 in severely immunocompromised patients and studies of dengue vaccination with attention to cross-reactive antibody responses against other flaviviruses.

  • Intravenous immunoglobulin
  • B-cell dysfunction
  • Flavivirus serology
  • Cross-reactive IgG antibodies

These studies also engage with immune response patterns relevant to TBEV, YFV, ZIKV, and JE.

Perioperative Medicine and Anesthesia

Trials in surgery under general anesthesia address postoperative recovery, oxygen management, and prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting in surgical patients.

  • Goal-directed oxygen concentration
  • Postoperative arterial oxygenation
  • Quality of recovery
  • Anti-emetic prophylaxis

Current research also examines symptom burden after laparoscopic procedures and measures linked to early postoperative recovery.

Neurology and Vestibular Disorders

Investigations in vestibular neuritis focus on relief of vestibular symptoms and recovery in patients with acute balance-related illness.

  • Prednisolone treatment
  • Placebo-controlled assessment
  • Vestibular symptoms
  • Clinical symptom improvement

This area reflects interest in acute inner ear and vestibular system disorders that affect dizziness and functional stability.
