Dr Marnie Graco (B. Physio; MPH, PhD) is a post-doctoral researcher and Implementation Scientist with a clinical background in physiotherapy. Dr Graco’s research aims to improve the health and quality of life of people living with neuromuscular diseases, by increasing the uptake of evidence-based treatments of their sleep and breathing disorders. Her PhD (University of Melbourne 2019) investigated the clinical management of sleep disordered breathing in people with spinal cord injury. Her post-doctoral fellowship, funded by Motor Neurone Disease Research Australia (MNDRA) seeks to understand and address the causes of low uptake and usage of non-invasive ventilation in people living with motor neurone disease. She currently works at the Institute for Breathing and Sleep (Austin Health, Melbourne) as an Implementation Scientist.
