The Rio Tinto Children’s Diabetes Centre; a Breakthrough T1D Centre of Excellence at The Kids Research Institute Australia and Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH), is a global hub for research into type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children.
The Rio Tinto Children’s Diabetes Centre acknowledges the importance of those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), those that care for them and the type 1 diabetes community (T1D community) in sharing your lived-experience.
A new series of educational videos about managing Type 1 Diabetes and its challenges

Mitochondrial diseases are devastating disorders for which there are no cures or effective treatments. Our project will focus on the prevention of mitochondrial diseases and discovery of effective cures.
We have started a project utilising whole genome sequencing of undiagnosed children living in WA to provide a definitive diagnosis. A major challenge here is that the role and functions of the inter-genic regions of our genome (the remaining 98%) are relatively poorly understood.
We are made up of hundreds of different cell types carrying out a diverse range of functions essential for organism survival. All the information required to specify the morphology, function and response to stimuli of these cells is encoded in identical copies of the genome. The process of gene regu
Current technologies to understand which genes are turned on or off only work on large amounts of biological samples. As a consequence all measurements we receive represent averages across multiple cell types present in the sample. The situation is comparable to studying the contents of a bowl of fr
