Hepatology and nutrition, including paediatrics.

Professor Geoffrey Cleghorn is Deputy Head of the School of Medicine and Professor of Paediatrics and Child Health at The University of Queensland. He is a graduate of The University of Queensland Medical School and undertook postgraduate training in paediatric gastroenterology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. Following his training he entered academic practice within The University of Queensland.

He has been involved in many of the historical and seminal advances in paediatric liver transplantation including the world's first successful living-related-donor liver transplant and the development of the liver cut down technique now universally known as the "Brisbane Technique". Research from the Queensland Liver Transplant Service has highlighted the importance of nutrition in these patients and is now acknowledged internationally.
