About us

The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute is dedicated to finding cures for cardiovascular disease through world class medical research. Established in 1994, it is the legacy of legendary heart transplant surgeon Victor Chang. Renowned for the quality of its breakthroughs, the Victor Chang Institute is working to discover better ways to diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent the onset of heart disease.

Associate Professor Andrew Jabbour is a Consultant Cardiologist with an interest in translational research. His research focuses on the use of non-invasive imaging in cardiomyopathy and heart transplantation as well as ischaemia-reperfusion injury in transplantation.
