The Ngangk Ngabala Ngoonda (Sun Safety) project aims to address an urgent health issue and knowledge gap by generating a greater understanding of the barriers to sun protective behaviours and skin cancer prevention among Aboriginal CYP and their families in WA.

The Infectious Disease Ecology and Modelling team led by Professor Nick Golding, combines mathematical and statistical modelling, ecology, and public health to address malaria and other infectious and vector-borne diseases. The team uses modelling and maps to measure the risk posed by some of the world’s most important and neglected diseases – including malaria, Japanese Encephalitis and COVID-19 – and provide rapid modelling analyses to policy makers.

The Strep A & ARF Therapeutics research team are working to accelerate research and clinical trials to improve penicillin formulation and treatment methods, to end RHD.

Research

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.

Research

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

We’ve heard from families that trustworthy information about preterm-associated lung disease is difficult to find. In response, we’ve created resources to empower families with the knowledge they need to manage these challenges.

This research project is a collaboration between The Kids Research Institute Australia, Muscular Dystrophy Western Australia, Perth Children’s Hospital and Curtin University.

Are you 14-18 years old and attracted to people the same gender as you? We want you to help us understand how you feel other people see and treat you, and how this affects your mental health.

Parents of Year 4-6 students are invited to complete a brief survey or take part in a focus group on digital technology use by their children.

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia are seeking young people (aged 14-25) who have a trans or gender diverse sibling aged 25 or under to take part in a new study.
