A lifelong auto-immune condition that can affect anyone, but is most commonly diagnosed in childhood.
On this Research Impact page, we showcase real game-changers - research that changes the very way other scientists around the world think and approach challenges. The far-reaching impact on children and families for all the stories shown on these pages is both exciting and significant.
The science that interprets the way nutrients and other substances in food affect maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease.
In 2020, we celebrated our 30th birthday with those who matter most — the kids whose lives we’ve changed through the research we do.
Co-design of a program supporting paternal involvement in preterm care.
Food allergy affects families' quality of life, can be lifelong and life-threatening, urging the identification of early modifiable risk factors. Formula feeding in the first days of life may increase the risk of cow's milk allergy, a risk often attributed to cow's milk allergens exposure. Early formula feeding also reduces the colostrum intake, the first 3 days' milk, which is rich in bioactive compounds critical for immune and gut health. This study investigates whether partial colostrum feeding increases the risk of food allergy beyond cow's milk.
Food allergies have become more common in our community, with up to one in ten young children now affected. Reactions can range from mild hives to life threatening anaphylaxis and breathing difficulties. The most common food allergies are to egg, peanut, tree nuts, cow’s milk, fish, shellfish, sesame, wheat and soy.
Immunomodulatory proteins in human milk (HM) can shape infant immune development. However, strategies to modulate their levels are currently unknown. This study investigated whether maternal prebiotic supplementation alters the levels of immunomodulatory proteins in HM.
This study provides evidence to support annual inactivated influenza vaccine administration to children following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant
