Biography
Trent Reardon comes from a research based exercise science background with clinical trial experience. In his PhD he was focussed on the mechanisms of skeletal muscle fatigue and the role reactive oxygen species play in muscle function in health and disease. Trent has also designed and delivered lectures in physiology and biochemistry to undergraduate Zoology students at La Trobe University and been a tutor for the Graduate Medical Program and Physiology Program at The University of Sydney.
Most recently Dr Reardon was a Research Fellow at The University of Melbourne specialising in blood vessel pharmacology in health, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes whilst also playing a medical science management role to deliver public lectures and funding for science societies in collaboration with a range of professional organisations.
Dr Reardon has published and edited manuscripts independently and in collaboration with others across a range of fields in high quality journals, using specialist techniques to reveal novel disease mechanisms.
Dr Reardon has joined The Department of General Practice to coordinate an NHMRC funded Randomised Control Trial of antibiotic treatment versus a “watchful waiting” approach to the management of acute otitis media in urban Aboriginal children at low risk of complications of ear disease.
