School of Medical Sciences - Department of AnatomyStatement of Interests:
Dr Freeman studies morphological aspects of human development, with particular emphasis on the biodynamics of early human development (i.e., human movement analysis applied to embryos and fetuses) as a means of interpreting adult structure and function.

Repair of the injured spinal cord, investigating both neuroprotective mechanisms to limit tissue damage, and repair strategies to encourage the re-growth of new axons. Two different platforms are currently being trialled, using a) cell transplants and b) a mimetic peptide approach. These target the acute and chronic stages of spinal cord injury. The overall aim is to improve locomotion and demonstrate cellular repair of spinal tissue.

In the fields of neuropathology and neurodegeneration, research vocuses on quantitative comparisons across Parkinsonian disorders (e.g. Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy). Other areas of interest include comparative neuroanatomy with special interest in quantitative comparison of neuronal populations across primate species and the production of stereotaixc and quantitative atlases of various mammalian brains.

Current research is focus on Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, with a particular interest in molecular biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and prognosis of Parkinson’s disease and early detection of dementia syndrome; cross cultural comparison on epidemiological, clinical and pathological features of the disorders; as well as human brain tissue analysis on the formation and maturation of disease characteristic pathological lesions (Lewy bodies of Parkinson’s disease, glial cytoplasmic inclusions of multiple system atrophy and coil bodies of progressive supranuclear palsy).

School of Medical Sciences - Department of PhysiologyStatement of Interests:
I am conjoint member of staff based The Pain Management Research Institute at the Royal North Shore Hospital. I collaborate with neuroscientists and clinicians on research projects that aim to understand the neurobiology of processes that cause or alleviate human pain states. A wide range of approaches are used in this work including: molecular biology, neuroanatomy, electrophysiology, behavioural testing and psychological studies, plus fMRI and other clinical methods. My own research uses animal models to study the neurobiology of pain; pharmacology of analgesic drugs; central neuropathic pain and spinal cord injury pain; and visceral pain.

School of Medical SciencesStatement of Interests:
In the field of medical education, collaborative work with collegues as Macquarie University and in South Africa and the USA is concerned with curriculum design and assessment. In the field of cell biology, collaborative work with colleagues in South Africa relates to wound healing and the role of keratinocyte and fibrocyte cell migration. In the field of tissue regeneration, collaborative work at the University of New South Wales focusses on the role of angiogenesis on muscle regeneration and stem cell therapy. In the field of clinical anatomy, collaborative work with clinicians in South Africa and USA is concerned anatomy in relation to new endoscopic surgical procedures.

Working with colleagues in Australia, Canada, Britain, the US and Denmark, our studies aim to determine some of the ways that cells in arteries communicate with one another and specifically, at how cells control the balance between the way that arteries narrow (constrict) and enlarge (dilate). This balance is referred to as vascular tone and is the main determinant of blood pressure and thus cardiovascular disease. Coordination of vascular tone is dependent on signals passing through junctions within and between the cellular layers in arteries. Our studies correlate anatomy and function, to identify the fundamental pathways that underlie blood vessel function.
