In 2022, the World Health Organization extended their guidelines for perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC) from infants to children up to 24 months old. However, evidence for PMC's public health impact is primarily limited to children under 15 months. Further research is needed to assess the public health impact and cost-effectiveness of PMC, and the added benefit of further age-expansion. We integrated an individual-based model of malaria with pharmacological models of drug action to address these questions for PMC and a proposed age-expanded schedule (referred as PMC+, for children 03-36 months).
The natural history of MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS), a rare X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder with an estimated birth prevalence of 1/150,000 live births, is poorly understood due to a lack of clinical data collected for research. Such information is critical to the understanding of disease progression, therapeutic endpoints and outcome measures for clinical trials, as well as the development of therapies and orphan products.

This paper reviews the disorder Rett syndrome and evidence for the management of scoliosis and poor growth within a clinical ethics framework
Perth researchers who were involved in an international study which examined two different techniques used to intubate newborns and young babies during surgery expect the findings to lead to a change in global practice.
A The Kids Research Institute Australia spin-off company has received $20 million from the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund to develop a promising new therapy for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers set out on a worldwide search to find out all they could about Rett syndrome, establishing databases and creating awareness.
In this project, we will generate model-driven insights to accelerate and optimise how next-generation malaria vaccines and monoclonal antibodies are developed, evaluated, and deployed, across different age groups, use-cases, and transmission settings.
Meningococcal disease is caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis, or 'meningococcus'. It is an uncommon but very serious disease that can result in death if not recognised and treated quickly.
The social media application TikTok allows users to view and upload short-form videos. Recent evidence suggests it has significant potential for both industry and health promoters to influence public health behaviours. This protocol describes a standardised, replicable process for investigations that can be tailored to various areas of research interest, allowing comparison of content and features across public health topics.
