Autism Research

The Kids' autism research takes place at CliniKids, a centre that integrates world-class research with a clinical service for children with developmental delay and/or autism and their families.

Ear and Hearing Health

The Ear and Hearing Health team's vision is all children start primary school with good hearing.

Immunology and Breastfeeding

By investigating the way that breastmilk guides children’s immune trajectory, we provide evidence-based recommendations for the development of happy healthy kids

Nutrition in Early Life

The vision of the Nutrition in Early Life team is to work together with the community to produce quality research, for improving our knowledge of how a mother’s diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding can improve both her and her child’s health.

Pregnancy and Early Life Immunology

The Pregnancy and Early Life Immunology team's overall research vision is targeted towards understanding immunological development during early life.

Early biomarkers predictive of autism

This study aims to investigate the cellular and molecular profiles of the immune system in infants at high/low risk for Autism, as determined through clinical assessment.

Epigenetic changes underpinning allergen sensitization: a twin-based study

We are studying immune cells from identical twins of which one suffers and one does not suffer from allergic disease to identify specific mechanisms that may play important roles in disease development.

Finding the cellular explanation for recurrent asthma exacerbations

This study is designed to identify the specific unique immune cell response that occurs in these children with recurrent disease.

The cellular effects of estrogen on allergic asthma

The study aims to identify the mechanism for this so that this knowledge can be used to better treat asthma and allergies in both males and females.
