Dr Abadi Gebre

Research Fellow

Staff Member Details
Email: a.gebre@ecu.edu.au

Abadi is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within ECU’s Nutrition & Health Innovation Research Institute. His research interests include the investigation of why and how cardiovascular disease increases the risk of falls, fractures and dementia to develop evidence-based therapies, and medication safety with the ultimate goal of promoting healthy ageing.

Background

Abadi is a pharmacist by profession with an expertise in the epidemiology and clinical trials of cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders. His research is aimed at reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease-related falls, fractures, and dementia by developing innovative methods for identifying and preventing them before they occur. Abadi’s research has been published in leading medical journals such as the Lancet, the Journal of American Heart Association, and Heart.
