His academic and professional background integrates expertise in biology, law, and health research.

Dr. Remond has contributed to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research since 2005, with a focus on chronic conditions including rheumatic heart disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and bronchiectasis. In recent years, his research has emphasized justice health, addressing intergenerational incarceration, throughcare initiatives, mothers and children in custody, and unexpected deaths in custody.
