Dr Randy Suryadinata
Dr Randy Suryadinata is Chief Ciliary Scientist for the Victorian Diagnostic Service for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) at the Royal Children’s Hospital and an Honorary Research Fellow with the Respiratory Diseases Group at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.
He leads one of only two specialised PCD diagnostic laboratories in Australia, overseeing the collection, processing, and assessment of airway cell samples. With a background in cell biology, he has improved the success rates in airway cell culture and expanded the service nationally through remote sampling, enabling samples to be collected at distant sites and analysed at RCH. This model improves access to high-quality diagnostic testing for geographically dispersed patients.
His research focuses on airway biology and physiology, including the environmental, social, and behavioural factors affecting airway cells, such as vaping and bushfire smoke. He actively collaborates with research groups for a number of different project s including investigation into the mechanisms of airway infection.
