Biography
CIA Eri (DVM, PhD) is a veterinarian turned biomedical scientist with an emerging international reputation in the field of mucosal biology/immunology. His research interests include understanding the role of inflammasomes, chemokines (CCR6 and CCL20), IL-23/TH17 pathways in both murine and human IBD. Additionally, Dr Eri conducts research into the efficacy of natural products (bitter melon, raw banana, yogurt) in the treatment of IBD and a number pf pre-clinical studies are being carried in that direction.
His recent research interests include colorectal cancer and respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. Previously he was a senior research officer at the Mater Medical Research Institute (MMRI, now TRI, Brisbane). During this time he was chief investigator on 3 NHMRC and 1 Queensland Cancer Fund applications and was instrumental in providing ground breaking identification of ER stress in the pathogenesis of IBD. His PhD was awarded in 2001 from the University of Queensland and the initial post-doctoral work in mucosal immunology area was conducted in UCLA, USA. Since 2011, Dr Eri has established an independent laboratory at UTAS. Even as a 40:40:20 academic at UTAS, he has maintained a very productive research career as evidenced from publications (20), grants (6) and graduate students (5) during that period. The collective impact of CIA Eri's contribution is highlighted by numerous worldwide collaborations with clinicians and researchers, invitations to speak at international meetings, invited reviews, as well as editorial and refereeing work. To cite a few examples, he was invited to edit an edition of Frontiers in Immunology, organised and chaired sessions at Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) annual meetings, invited to speak at a number of conferences in Australia. He published in prestigious journals (PLoS medicine, J Exp Med, Gut, BMJ). His work is widely cited (a total of ~ 1500 citations) with an average of more than 26 citations/paper and more than 350 citations for the highest cited paper.

Research Themes
Raj's research aligns to the University's research theme of Better Health. He has significant expertise in the fields of colitis and IBD that includes a multitude of animal models of colitis. Furthermore he was the first to describe the ER stress induced molecular pathology of a novel murine model of spontaneous colitis-Winnie. All the clinical, histological, immunological and immuno-histochemical methods have been optimised and being in current use in his research laboratory.
Overall, Raj has published over 25 papers and reviews in this specific field in high ranking journals in the areas of the role of ER stress, the pre-clinical efficacy of a number of food products/peptides/cytokines for the treatment of colitis.
Raj was specifically recruited to UTAS as a 'research active' academic. He has established a mucosal biology laboratory and already recruited many Honours/PhD students in his projects. He is trying to establish a niche for himself in the mucosal immunology area and is uniquely positioned as only one of a very few dedicated mucosal immunology researchers in Australia. His vision is to conduct high-quality research in the areas of chronic intestinal inflammation & colorectal cancer and contribute towards a better understanding of IBD pathogenesis and treatment. Furthermore, he would also like to conduct basic research in the area cell stress and apoptosis specifically in the intestinal epithelial cells. In addition to his science research, Raj has a keen interest in educational research as well. To this end, he currently holds a teaching development grant from UTAS.

Current projects
- The hierarchial activation of inflammasomes in chronic colitis
Inflammasomes are protein complexes that are implicated in initiation of many diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In my laboratory, we have characterised a mouse model that develops spontaneous colitis similar to human colitis. We have a strong indication from human studies that specific inflammasomes are activated in IBD. In this mouse model, we want to explore functional studies as to how inflammasome contributes to pathogenesis of IBD. - Characterisation of flat dysplasia in colitis associated colorectal cancer
Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CACC) progresses through similar stepwise gene mutations observed in sporadic cancers, but the sequence in which they occur is reversed. Understanding the transition from colitis to tumour requires relevant animal models. Colonic carcinogenesis has been modelled using genotoxic carcinogens such as azoxymethane. We hypothesise that exacerbation of pre-existing chronic colitis in a Muc2 mutant (Winnie) mouse strain with dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) would induce colorectal tumorigenesis. - CCR6 deficiency aggravates colitis in a spontaneous colitis model
Chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) and its ligand CCL20 is implicated to play a major role in IBD pathogenesis. The CCR6/CCL20 axis is involved in both immune regulation and activation. CCR6 is expressed by both pro-inflammatory cells and regulatory T cells elucidate the dual role of the receptor. The contradictory role of CCR6/CCL20 in inflammation/homeostasis requires further research.

- Description
- Cognitive dysfunction is common in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and can cause significant disruption to everyday functioning and quality of life. Peculiarities in gut microbial composition and function have also been found in people with MS and there is now a recognised link between the gut microbiome and kynurenine pathway (KP) regulation, as well as KP dysregulation, increased inflammation and neuronal death. This research aims to examine whether cognitive dysfunction and cognitive changes over time (approximately a 4-year period, time 1 data was collected in 2016/2017) are associated with increased pro-inflammatory KP biomarkers and an aberrant gut microbiota among individuals with MS. We will also conduct a pilot study investigating whether and to what extent a nutrition intervention (e.g., probiotics) may influence cognitive impairment in MS, by modulating KP function via the gut microbiome.

- Description
- Our understanding of many cancers has improved dramatically over the past decade predominantly due to our ability to sequence entire genomes, at scale. Yet, we still require a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms that initiate and perpetuate cancers, as well as gene-based factors that initiate the transition from indolent to aggressive cancers with a propensity to metastasize. CRISPR/Cas is proving a robust, powerful and necessary tool in the laboratory that will undoubtedly underpin the next breakthrough in the field of cancer. As such, it is essential that we develop this capability at the University of Tasmania in a timely manner.The specific AIMS of this proposal are to:Aim 1: Establish CRISPR/Cas screening at the University of Tasmania as a tool to identify genesthat drive aggressive and metastatic cancers.Aim 2: Perform a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas negative selection (loss-of-function) screen toidentify genes essential for proliferation and survival, as well as metastatic behaviour.

- Small airway fibrosis is the main contributor to physiological airway obstruction in COPD. The other main airway pathology in COPD is lung cancer; up to 70% of smoking related lung cancer occurs in mild-moderate COPD. EMT may underlie both pathological features; if true this opens up major new therapeutic possibilities. We aim to investigate EMT in airways of smokers and COPD.

- This project draws on latest research results from the fields of visual arts, visualisation, health and education and aims to design and evaluate artistic interaction methods. It is hypothesised that by introducing artistic interactions, users will be more engaged with the sense-making process, thus making the visualisation more effective in conveying the embedded information to the end users, in comparison with traditional reality based interactions.

- Description
- Glaucoma is a degenerative disease attributed to progressive loss of neurons within the optic nerve. There is no cure for this disease, with treatment strategies predominantly focused on reducing intraocular pressure (IOP), which remains the only modifiable risk factor. IOP is generally considered to be due to inhibited outflow of aqueous humor, the fluid within the eye, through a specialised tissue known as the trabecular meshwork. The trabecular meshwork (TM) is highly fibrous, consisting of several layers of cells overlying extracellular matrix (ECM) structures. During normal ageing, increased ECM deposition occurs in the deeper layers of the trabecular meshwork, and this appears to be increased in glaucoma. It is not known how this occurs, but it has been speculated that changes in expression and activity of ECM remodelling proteins, typified by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their regulators, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), may be responsible. Several studies have examined gene expression and the ECM structure in normal and glaucomatous trabecular meshwork, as well as the presence of MMPs and TIMPS in aqueous humor, but no study has attempted to correlate the extent of ECM deposition with MMP or TIMP activity using trabecular meshwork tissue and aqueous humor from the same patient.
