ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

Monash University leads the Australian arm of the ASPREE project in collaboration with investigators from distinguished research institutions.

Who we are

A large team across Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and southern NSW, and South Australia work on the ASPREE project and sub-studies. Our diverse team includes: medical and scientific researchers;  clinical specialists; project managers; data, ethics, finance, monitoring, administration and communications managers; data officers; project officers; study co-ordinators; research nurses; research assistants and a support team that ‘mans’ the phones, sends letters, makes appointments and takes questions.

ASPREE Principal Investigators (PIs) in Australia and the USA lead the project.

The Australian Management Committee oversees the scientific and operational conduct of ASPREE in Australia, including adherence to protocol, ethics and financial management and reports to the International Steering Committee.

The Australian Investigator Group brings to the project extensive expertise with members affiliated with leading research institutions nationally. More than 2000 GP Associate investigators in Australia and more than 20 Site Principal Investigators (PIs) in the USA, support the project.

ASPREE Principal Investigators

Prof John McNeil AO 

PI ASPREE & Co-PI ASPREE-XT, Australia

Prof John McNeil was Head of Monash University’s School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (SPHPM) and head of the Department of Epidemiology & Preventive Medicine (DEPM) from 1986 to 2019. Over that time, DEPM became one of the major clinical and public research units in the country. 

John was PI on the 2nd Australian National Blood Pressure (ANBP2) trial, the ASFAST and NEMESS studies and is responsible for designing and planning the ASPREE trial.  He has been involved in a variety of leadership roles including directorships of Austin Health, Alfred Health, the Australian Institute of Health & Welfare  and the Metropolitan Ambulance Service.  He is chair of the Alfred Hospital Ethics Committee. 

A/Prof Joanne Ryan

Co-PI ASPREE-XT, Australia

Joanne has a background in molecular biology, biostatistics and a PhD in neuropsychiatric epidemiology.

Her research interests lie in the prevention of neuropsychiatric disorders, in particularly dementia and depression, prediction of risk and the identification of biomarkers (including epigenetic) for early diagnosis.

Joanne’s long-term vision is to reduce the prevalence and burden of neuropsychiatric disorders across the life-course and to drive strategies that optimise healthy cognitive ageing and mental well-being.

Prof Anne Murray

 Prof Anne Murray

PI ASPREE & Co-PI ASPREE-XT, USA

Prof Anne Murray is a geriatrician/ internist and epidemiologist at Hennepin County Medical Center, and Professor of Medicine (Adjunct Neurology) at the University of Minnesota.

She is Medical Director of the Berman Center for Outcomes and Clinical Research – Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute –  and conducts research in the epidemiology of cognitive impairment (dementia). She is also the PI for the BRain IN Kidney Disease (BRINK) Study and previous Midwest PI for the ACCORD Memory in Diabetes study. She earned her M.D. from University of Minnesota, and completed her internal medicine residency at Mayo Clinic, Rochester and Geriatrics fellowship and M.Sc. in Epidemiology at Harvard.

Prof Andrew Chan

Co-PI ASPREE-XT, USA

Dr Andrew T. Chan is Chief of the Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Unit (CTEU) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Director of Cancer Epidemiology at the MGH Cancer Center, and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS). He also co-leads the Cancer Epidemiology Program at the Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center.

His research broadly aims to advance epidemiological investigation for the translation of discoveries into effective clinical interventions. His current focus is on chronic digestive diseases, including gastrointestinal cancer (colorectal, oesophageal, gastric), inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
