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

We have recently published a paper identifying precursor populations in peripheral lung (2017), and have also discovered that these populations can be found in multiple tissues.

The following maps highlight the Indigenous suicide rate trends over time (from 2001 to 2012) in different regions of Australia.

An Australian-first study, funded by Perth Children's Hospital Foundation, demonstrating the effectiveness of a new immunisation against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) for babies found it to be almost 90 per cent effective in reducing hospitalisation rates.

Imagine you had a healthy daughter one day and the next being told she has an incurable condition that requires day-to-day care and insulin treatment to stay alive.

We unite experts and communities to improve child health through research that has impact, using animals only when no other methods are suitable. We are also a signatory to the ANZCCART Animals in Research Openness Agreement.

This 2nd edition is intended for staff and students and all health practitioners working in areas that support Indigenous mental health and wellbeing.
