Professor Jason Trubiano is an Infectious Diseases Physician and Director of Infectious Diseases. He is an NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow at Department of Infectious Diseases, The University of Melbourne and Cross Cutting Discipline Clinical Research Co-Lead at the Doherty Institute. He is the head for the Centre for Antibiotic Allergy and Research at Austin Health. The collaborative health services and translational research program focuses on drug hypersensitivity and antibiotic allergy. The Centre also hosts the National Antibiotic Allergy Network (NAAN) and Australasian Registry for Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (AUS-SCAR). NAAN is delivering a national Inpatient Penicillin Allergy Database, clinical and consumer protocols and antibiotic allergy advocacy and policy.
Prof Trubiano’s research explores health services programs for antibiotic allergy and novel diagnostics and pharmacogenomic predictors for severe T-cell mediated drug reactions. He leads clinical and translational studies at Austin Health and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre investigating drug allergy and infections in the immunocompromised host. One of his current key projects is implementing point-of-care tools and precision medicine approaches for antibiotic allergy to improve prescribing and medication safety in health services.
