Overview
Background
Veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics, with special interest in transdermal drug delivery, pulmonary therapeutics and the control of inflammation. An additional interest includes wildlife ecology and therapeutics.
Paul Mills graduated from UQ School of Veterinary Science in 1987 and, after a period in clinical practice, completed a PhD investigating pharmacological control of inflammation in racing animals. He undertook a 3 year postdoctoral position at The Animal health Trust in the United Kingdom and established the Oxidative Stress research group. He was also the team veterinarian on a study of heat and humidity in horses towards the Atlanta Olympic Games. He returned to Australia and undertook positions as a NHMRC Senior Research Officer at the Princess Alexandria Hospital and as a Senior Government Veterinary Officer with Racing Queensland.
A/Prof Mills re-joined the School of Veterinary Science in 2001 and established the Pharmacology Research Unit to focus research into veterinary pharmacology. He was also a co-founder of Veterinary Marine Animal Research, Teaching and Investigation (Vet-MARTI; http://www.uq.edu.au/vetschool/vet-marti) in 2008. He has attracted over $2 million in research funding during this time and is the author on more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications. A/Prof Mills is a member (by examination) of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists for Veterinary Pharmacology and an external reviewer for the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority. He currently teaches veterinary pharmacology and anatomy, receiving UQ and ALTC awards and funding for teaching innovations.

The Role of Surfactant in Pulmonary and Synovial Surfaces
Researcher: Dr Paul Mills Collaborator: Professor Brian Hills (Mater Hospital) Synopsis: Surfactants have been shown to contribute to lubrication and normal function in human joint fluid. We have detected surfactant in equine tendon sheath fluid and synovial fluid. Degradation of surfactant may contribute to the aetiogenesis of joint and tendon disease while replacing surfactant may enhance recovery from injury. The role of surfactant in the lung has been long understood, but we are now also investigating the effects of pulmonary diseases on surfactant in parallel with current human research. Professor Hills has recently demonstrated that asthma in humans is related to degradation of surfactant and exposure of receptors lining the airways. This research may lead to novel therapeutic options for veterinary pulmonary diseases.

Transdermal Medication in Companion Animals
Researcher: Dr Paul Mills Collaborators: Dr Sheree Cross, Therapeutic Research Unit, Princess Alexandra Hospital. Synopsis: Application of drugs to the skin for local (e.g. flea control) or systemic (e.g. fentanyl patches) is graining increasing popularity in veterinary medicine, in line with the research in human skin. The advantages of applying drugs to skin are an avoidance of hepatic "first-pass" effect, ease of administration (increasing owner compliance) and reversibility. A successful collaboration has been formed with the Therapeutics Research Unit, an internationally-acknowledged centre of human transdermal research. The research aims to clarify some of the issues regarding transdermal drug penetration in animals, including regional differences (does the site of application matter?), adaptation of human drugs and vehicles and the influences of skin damage or disease on drug kinetics.

Pulmonary Function During Exercise and Disease
Researcher: Dr Paul Mills Collaborator: Animal Health Trust, Newmarket, United Kingdom. Synopsis: Horses are a supreme athlete and have a pulmonary capacity that far exceeds humans. However, a combination of high pulmonary vascular pressures and weakened pulmonary capillary basement membranes predisposes to stress failure during strenuous exercise, commonly known as exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) or "bleeding". The investigations to date have focused on mechanisms regulating pulmonary vascular pressure (particularly nitric oxide) and free radical damage to basement membranes (oxidative stress).

Equine Thermoregulation and Anhidrosis
Researcher: Dr Paul Mills Collaborator: Animal Health Trust, Newmarket, United Kingdom. Synopsis: Equine thermoregulation is essential during all forms of competition and may easily affect performance if mechanisms regulating body temperature and hydration are malfunctioning. A large multi-centre study was commissioned by the FEI towards understanding the effects on heat and humidity on equine performance towards the Atlanta Olympic Games. Some of the results from this study demonstrated a potential link between nitric oxide and sweating in the horse, which may be related to the condition of anhidrosis.
