Her overall research program includes studies on genetics of alcoholic cirrhosis, molecular ALCOHOL RELATED LIVER INJURY: Her overall research program includes studies on genetics of alcoholic cirrhosis, molecular mechanisms underlying liver disease, identifying biomarkers for alcohol use and liver injury, transcriptomics, lipid and miRNA profiling.
GENOMICS: The GenomALC Consortium focuses on the whole genome and exome sequencing of thousands of drinkers in search for common and rare vairants associated with alcohol related cirrhosis. Her group showed the first evidence of heritability for alcoholic cirrhosis from father to son was highlighted by editors (ACER 2015) as of ‘high public interest’ and covered by media (EurekAlert! and others outlets internationally.
LIPIDOMICS:Global lipid profiling identified novel lipid species that in a combined model of lipid+traditional markers increased AUC and accuracy for prediction of cirrohsis in drinkers.
LIVER INJURY BIOMARKES: Dr Seth's group discovered novel pathways in ALC, such as Osteopontin (OPN), now recognized as a prognostic biomarker for liver injury and cancer, and defined OPN mechanisms in alcohol- and alcohol+fat-induced inflammation and fibrogenesis in human, in vitro and in vivo models.
miRNAS as biomarkers of liver injury and acute kidney injury is one of the current PhD research focus.
ALCOHOL USE BIOMARKERS: Recently her group established direct metabolites of alcohol (PEth, EtG, EtS) at her centre as routine clinical tests to detect exposure, abstinence and under-reporting of alcohol use.
Dr Seth has 58 publications (6 in 2018) in high impact journals in this field (Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Journal of Hepatology, Am J Pathology, Alcoholism: Clin Exp Res), majority as first/senior author. She is on the editorial board of 2 international journals and reviewer on >20 journals, (inter)national granting bodies and supervises PhD, Medicine and Honours students.
PHD SUPERVISION: Her PhD student Van Long Nguyen established blood/serum tests for alcohol use using state-of-the-art HPLC-MS/MS at the RPA Hospital. This significant achievement has led to the introduction of PEth, EtG/EtS as routine tests for clinical use by Gastroenterologists and Drug Health Services at the RPAH. The success of this project is also reflected by three first author publications by Long as part of his PhD and three presentations at national conferences.
Under Dr Seth’s co-supervision, her other international PhD student, Fathima Shihana Haniffa Salahudeen, has generated miRNA profiles and identified miRNAs that differentiate patients with acute kidney injury in response to glyphosate pesticide poisoning and snake bite, as well as liver injury in patients with paracetamol poisoning. Shihana’s extensive work has resulted in several international and national presentations and three manuscripts ready to be submitted.
HIGHER DEGREE RESEARCH (HDR): Dr Seth also supervises MD student Kathryn Kiefhaber, investigating the disproportionate research funding compared to the significant public health cost of alcohol related liver injury. Alcoholic liver injury accounts for ~50% of the total liver disease burden in Australia. It is a preventable disease, but an often neglected area of human health. Increased funding could prevent significant costs to the health system in Australia. Kathryn has extensively searched databases (NHMRC, AIHW, PubMed) and is near completion of a paper on comparing research funding across other liver disease.
CURRENT INTERESTS: Following are the research interests in her group available as Honors and PhD projects:
1. Molecular pathogenesis and identification of biomarkers (miRNA profiles, lipidomics, transcriptomics) in clinical specimens from drinkers, and in vivo animal models of alcohol and alcohol+high fat diet.
2. Identification of genetic risk factors in a genome wide association study (GWAS) for Alcoholic Liver Disease, as part of the multi-centre international GenomALC Consortium
3. Establishing biomarkers (PEth, EtG) as clinical tests for alcohol use in patients (supervising current PhD project)
5. Global profiling serum and urinary microRNAs as biomarkers for acute kidney injury in patients following pesticide (potassium permanganate, oxalic acid), snake venom and prescription drug (paracetamol) poisoning (supervising current PhD project)
Interested in research based teaching for post-graduate Honours and PhD students in my area of expertise. Currently supervising two PhD students, and one Medicine student.
Developed a modular eLearning course "To develop a cross-platform visual module to increase awareness of the effects of chronic alcohol drinking on the liver" under the "Integrated learning space for engaged enquiry program" at the University of Sydney.
This course with short quiz is available online for USYD students.

Dr Seth champions the first and largest study of its kind on the genetics of ALD funded by the NIH/NIAAA under the multinational GenomALC Consortium (www.genomalc.org). Recruitment of thousands of drinkers at multiple sites across Australia, USA, UK, Germany, France and Switzerland is ongoing. The DNA from ~6700 participants weree used for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a genome-wide association (GWA) approach. Under her direction the study has built a valuable and unique resource of over 2000 prospective patients’ drinking history and other well characterised phenotype data, as well as linked clinical specimens for the GenomALC biorepository. This study has been successful in producing 5 publications, 10 presentations, 2 symposia and several media releases.
This project has several spin off opportunities for PhD projects (DNA methylation, miRNA profiling, functional studies on identified SNPs).
Dr Seth led another concurrent international Australia India Stratgic Research Fund (AISRF, 2013-2016) project investigating the angiogenic and immunomodulatory role of bone-marrow (BM) derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in liver regeneration during alcohol induced injury. This collaboration was between Prof Shiv Sarin, Director of India’s largest and most prestigiousInstitute of Liver and Biliary Science (ILBS), and one of three WHO viral hepatitis centres in the world and Dr Nirupama Trehanpati, Additional Professor at the Clinical and Cellular Transplant Immunology & Department of Research, ILBS. Other internal collaborators on this study are Profs G McCaughan, J Gamble and P Haber. The main study aim is to investigate the role of BM derived EPCs and to determine whether and how these cells participate in liver angiogenesis and immunomodulation, andpromote subsequent liver regenerationin animal models of acute and chronic alcohol consumption. Understanding the mechanisms of liver regeneration by these BM-cells in chronic liver disease, where regeneration by the resident hepatocytes is severely inhibited. EPC action in liver disease has the potential for identification of molecules/pathways as novel therapeutic and diagnostic targets. For this AISRF project, my group has reported the first extensive characterization of circulating human EPCs using mass cytometery (CyTOF). Three distinct EPC subtypes were identified in alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC) patients. CD45hi EPCs with enhanced functions, inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic mediators significantly increased in ALC patients suggesting an inflammatory role for these cells in ALC pathogenesis. Her group also established protocols to identify the rare population of endothelial progenitor cells in mice using 8-colour flow cytometric analysis in in vivo mouse models of acute alcohol-induced liver injury.
Both projects have opportunities for Honours and PhD.
