Congratulations to four outstanding early-career researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia, who have been awarded BrightSpark Foundation fellowships and project funding for 2026.

Researchers at the Children’s Diabetes Centre at The Kids Research Institute Australia have begun researching type 2 diabetes to tackle the rising incidence of the disease among young people in Australia.

Recent diabetes technology is helping 12-year-old Drina keep on top of her condition and be independent, while significantly easing the disease burden on her family.

The teenage years can be a challenging time for families, a period made even more difficult if a child has type 1 diabetes.

The Centre is currently involved in an international effort to develop revolutionary closed- loop 'artificial pancreas' technology. It is also leading a multi-centre Australian trial of these portable devices at home in young people with diabetes.
