Reports and Findings

Current technologies to understand which genes are turned on or off only work on large amounts of biological samples. As a consequence all measurements we receive represent averages across multiple cell types present in the sample. The situation is comparable to studying the contents of a bowl of fr

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.

If the gut becomes damaged it may not be able to process the foods that we eat as well as it used to. This may also affect how we look after diabetes.

This study is looking for the causes of type 1 diabetes, so that we can find ways to prevent it. We will follow many women around Australia during pregnancy until early childhood, looking at the child's birth, environment and genes.

Our research focuses on what are the best ways for patients with Type 1 Diabetes to exercise safely. We aim to develop clinical guidelines that provide improved advice for patients and educate patients on how to prevent hypos during and after exercise.

This study will tell us if the use of a hybrid closed loop system can improve awareness of hypoglycaemia.

The national Hybrid Closed-Loop Outpatient Trial will test the use of an automated insulin delivery system to see if it is better at optimising blood glucose levels than standard therapy.

Assessment of airway hyperresponsiveness are valuable tools to understand and to monitor airway function and to characterise the underlying asthma phenotype to guide therapy

o help raise the profile of student wellbeing in the education system in Australia, The Kids Research Institute Australia and SA Department for Education through the Fraser Mustard Centre, set out to adapt and trial a population-level student wellbeing measure that could be used across the entire public and p

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.
