A simple set of eye masks and ear plugs – an inexpensive solution explored in a successful pilot study by The Kids Research Institute Australia, together with the Child and Adolescent Health Service – could hold the key to better outcomes for our tiniest bubs.

This chapter describes the preparation of respiratory tract tissue from both mice and rats for the isolation of respiratory tract dendritic cells (RTDC).

A first of its kind research program at The Kids Research Institute Australia aims to develop new strategies to better treat Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children with cancer.

The research of the Translational Genetics team is focussed on providing molecular analysis of genetic variants (gene mutations), to better inform the early and accurate diagnosis of children living with genetic and rare diseases.

Both children and adults benefit from living in communities and neighborhoods that are rich in social capital.

The pattern of association between socioeconomic factors and health outcomes has primarily depicted better health for those who are higher in the social...
