Research has discovered the first concrete evidence linking Vitamin D deficiency with poorer lung function and changes in lung growth.
Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia are sharing expertise and knowledge to end rheumatic heart disease in this country.
A national study is investigating diet, chemical exposure and genetic factors in a new bid to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.
West Australian families are being asked to play a vital role in a major new national study to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.
In Australia, cancer medicine is increasingly guided by our expanding knowledge of cancer genomics (the study of genetic information) and biology. Personalized treatments and targets are often defined by an individual’s genetic profile—known as precision cancer medicine. The translation of genomics-guided precision therapeutics from bench to bedside is beginning to produce real clinical benefits for Australians living with cancer.
This study describes trends in social inequities in first dose measles-mumps-rubella (MMR1) vaccination coverage in Western Australia (WA) and New South Wales (NSW).
Findings are the first linking atopy (measured by both parent report and objective verification) with increased vulnerability to affective and anxiety problems
Measurement of lung volumes across the life course is critical to the diagnosis and management of lung disease. The aim of the study was to use the Global Lung Function Initiative methodology to develop all-age multi-ethnic reference equations for lung volume indices determined using body plethysmography and gas dilution techniques.
A study published in Science Advances has revealed that while genetics play a significant role in shaping children's immune systems, environmental factors also influence key immune responses, offering opportunity for preventing allergic diseases.
The Kids Research Institute Australia's Brain Tumour Research team will develop and implement cutting-edge technologies to revolutionise the speed of brain cancer diagnosis for WA children, thanks to more than $200,000 from Telethon.
