Early Environment is our research theme which focuses on the ways that environments early in life can affect a child's life-long health and development.
Factors ranging from infection and climatic conditions to pollutants, housing and our complex microbiome all have an impact. Understanding these exposures and their impact on early growth and development is key to preventing and treating a number of common childhood conditions.
At The Kids Research Institute Australia, this research encompasses the development of the immune system, infectious diseases, maternal health and the developmental origins of disease and health.
