Collecting DNA samples from Australian families affected by diabetes.

Research

The year 2013 saw the progress in our research from purely lab-based studies towards taking a step closer to translational research.

Research

This study is helping us to learn how type 1 diabetes develop and ways to delay and prevent it.

Research

Using the WA Data Linkage System to provide information of the incidence and relative risk of T1D co-morbidities and mortality during early adulthood.

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

Preterm babies have a heightened risk of infection as their immune system is not mature. The Neonatal Health Team is exploring new ways to diagnose, prevent and treat infections in WA's smallest patients .

Research

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

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a preventable,devastating condition that disproportionately affects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
