Research projects & supervision summary
Professor Chow leads a broad, high‑impact research portfolio supported by NHMRC, MRFF, Heart Foundation, ARC, NIH, and international funding bodies. Her projects span:
- Large-scale clinical trials, including QUARTET, TEXTMEDS, ASPIRE‑AF, QUEL, CONNECT, and multiple international perioperative risk studies (VISION, POISE-2)
- Digital health innovation programs, including TEXTME, TEXTMEDS, MyHeartMate, SupportMe, EMPOWER‑SMS, and remote monitoring platforms
- Global epidemiological studies, including major contributions to the PURE study across 27 countries
- Women’s cardiovascular health, including research on pregnancy‑related cardiovascular conditions and risk after gestational diabetes
- Health‑systems and implementation research, including cardiac rehabilitation innovations, blood pressure control strategies, and rapid‑access models of care
- Community‑based models of cardiac care, including FirstCPR and public health engagement initiatives
She supervises a large cohort of PhD, MPhil, honours, and medical students and mentors early‑career researchers across cardiology, public health, epidemiology, and digital health.
