Professor Craig McLachlan is the research director of the Centre for Healthy Futures at Torrens University. PhD trained in experimental medicine, Professor McLachlan is an active research collaborator and a highly skilled information integration specialist in biological mechanisms of disease.

His research disciplines span public health, pharmacology, physiology, and translational medicine (with a focus on cardiovascular medicine and technology innovation). He is a strong rare disease advocate and, from a research perspective, focuses on cutting-edge genomics to identify new therapeutic targets with a low toxicity profile for the patient. His primary focus is technologies and health solutions that improve disease outcomes and quality of life.

He also assists 2 NGOs in a voluntary capacity; where these NGOs are based in Nepal and Kenya, respectively, generating interesting research opportunities.
