现在有一个悉尼大学医学院研究生奖学金机会，研究方向为血液学。以下为该专业研究项目的介绍：
Project 1: Biology of Purinergic Receptors
Purinergic receptors are important in the intracellular communication between cells of the nervous and skeletomuscular systems. Our group is investigating the expression and function of these receptors, including their genetic variants, on white and red blood cells.

Project 2: Genetic Susceptibility to Infection
Tuberculosis is a global health problem with about one-third of the world’s population infected by the pathogen causing this disease. Less than 10% of infected people however will develop tuberculosis. This susceptibility has a genetic basis. Our group is attempting to identify the genes involved in susceptibility to tuberculosis and other diseases resulting from infection by intracellular pathogens.

Project 3: Genetic Determinants in Familial Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia
Relatives of people suffering chronic lymphocytic leukaemia have a thee-fold higher risk of developing this disease. Our group is attempting to identify the genes involved in susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, as well as understanding the biology of the white blood cells which give rise to this leukaemia.

Project 4: Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases often cluster in families and thus are thought to have a genetic basis. Our group is attempting to identify the genes involved in susceptibility to autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome and multiple sclerosis.

Project 5: Red Blood Cell Life-Span
The factors which limit the survival of red blood cells have never been satisfactorily explained. We are investigating the mechanisms by which red blood cells are removed from the circulation at the end of their 120 day life-span.

Project 6: Inflammatory Diseases
There is emerging evidence that purinergic receptors are important in inflammation. We are investigating the role of these receptors in various inflammatory diseases including atopic and contact dermatitis, and other inflammatory skin conditions, and heart failure.
