Dr John-Paul Tung’s research is focused on better understanding the effects and possible negative outcomes associated with transfusion, especially of stored blood products.

A particular focus is on transfusion-related acute lung injury or TRALI, with his doctoral thesis, conferred from the University of Queensland in 2012, describing the development of the first large animal model TRALI.

In this research, John-Paul uses a range of animal and laboratory models.
