The 2019 IIC Perth is a clinical training course in childhood infectious diseases, being held in Western Australia for a second time after the success of the first event in 2016.
Congratulations to Dr Gail Alvares and Dr Rachel Foong, who have been awarded funding from the Raine Medical Research Foundation.
A decade long partnership with Wesfarmers Ltd. and the Wesfarmers Centre of Vaccines and Infectious Diseases has led to world-class paediatric research and important collaborations fuelling the Centre’s trajectory towards easing the burden of infectious diseases.
Children with asthma face serious mental health risk, but the pathways remain unclear. This study aimed to examine bullying victimisation and perpetration in children with asthma and a comparison sample without a chronic health condition, and the role of bullying in moderating psychosocial adjustment outcomes for those with asthma. A sample of children with and without asthma, and their parents, were recruited from hospital clinics.
Small volume assays are required for large-scale research studies and in particular paediatric trials, where multiple measures are required from a single sample. Fluorescent bead-based technology (Bioplex/Luminex) allows high through-put and simultaneous quantification of multiple analytes in a single test. This technology uses sets of microspheres, each with a unique spectral address that can be coated with a different antigen of interest.
Researchers have made a world-first discovery on how to prevent severe respiratory infections in babies.
Prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is now a real possibility thanks to the rollout of an immunisation program backed by a decade’s worth of epidemiological research led by The Kids Research Institute Australia.
A global plan to tackle one of the most aggressive types of childhood brain tumours will be developed as a result of a meeting of international experts in WA.
Researchers at the Children’s Diabetes Centre at The Kids Research Institute Australia have begun researching type 2 diabetes to tackle the rising incidence of the disease among young people in Australia.
