Associate Professor David Frazer is passionate about improving the health of people with iron-related conditions such as iron deficiency and the iron loading disorder hereditary haemochromatosis, both of which affect a surprisingly high number of Australians. In fact, iron-related disorders represent some of the most common conditions affecting humans worldwide. In the Molecular Nutrition Laboratory, we are working hard to understand the molecular basis of these disorders and to use this knowledge to develop better treatments for affected individuals.
