Machine Learning Approaches for Anatomical Measurement in Fetal Ultrasound Images

This study is investigating whether a machine learning based approach can be used to improve fetal brain anatomy measurement for learning development studies.

Infection and the development of allergic disease

An improved understanding of the roles of protein kinases in intracellular signalling and disease progression has driven significant advances in protein...

New research gives clinicians better tools to identify preterm survivors at risk of declining lung health

New research from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre points to a more accurate set of warning signs that can flag declining lung function years before it becomes serious.

Review of Universal Access Funded Aboriginal Children with Hearing Impairment Support Program

In 2021 the South Australian Department for Education commissioned The Kids Research Institute Australia to undertake a review of the Hearing Impairment Support Program (HISP).

Cognition & Neurodevelopment

A child's brain undergoes massive change in the first few years of life, forming millions of new neural connections. They must quickly learn how to function in the world.

Determinants of lung function development from birth to age 5 years: an interrupted time series analysis of a South African birth cohort

Early life is a key period that determines long-term health. Lung development in childhood predicts lung function attained in adulthood and morbidity and mortality across the life course. We aimed to assess the effect of early-life lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and associated risk factors on lung development from birth to school age in a South African birth cohort.

Propulsion strategy in the gait of primary school children; the effect of age and speed

Ankle and hip power generation as a propulsion strategy during the late stance/early swing phases of walking and running in typically developing children

Researchers pay tribute to Lockie

The hearts of everyone at The Kids go out to the family and friends of Lachlan Hernaman, a long-term participant in lung health research who died suddenly on April 30.

COAG investment will help close the gap

The COAG commitment to invest in young Aboriginal children will produce immediate and real community benefits.
