Rate My Professor Steven Maltby

Transitioning from basic immunology to research translation and dissemination, Maltby now focuses on communicating evidence to clinicians, patients, students, and the public through accessible formats. His fields of research allocation are virtual and mixed reality (50%), professional education and training (30%), and cellular immunology (20%). As Project Manager at the Centre for Advanced Training Systems since 2020, he leads initiatives like the TACTICS VR project, a virtual reality training platform for hyper-acute stroke care that improved statewide metrics, reducing door-to-decision time from 80 to 54 minutes. He previously served as Executive Officer for Excellence in Severe Asthma (2015-2019), contributing to the Severe Asthma Toolkit. Key publications include 'Rollout of a statewide Australian telestroke network including virtual reality training is associated with improved hyperacute stroke workflow metrics and thrombolysis rate' (Frontiers in Stroke, 2024), 'Implementation and sustainment of virtual reality stroke workflow training for physician trainees' (BMC Medical Education, 2024), 'Mouse models of severe asthma: Understanding the mechanisms of steroid resistance, tissue remodelling and disease exacerbation' (Respirology, 2017), and 'CD34 is required for infiltration of eosinophils into the colon and pathology associated with DSS-induced ulcerative colitis' (American Journal of Pathology, 2010). Maltby's work bridges high-quality evidence with practical training solutions in health and education.
