Dr Keeth Mayakaduwage & A/Prof Miranda Davies-Tuck
A/Prof Miranda Davies-Tuck & Dr Keeth Mayakaduwage examined whether The Safer Baby Bundle reduced stillbirth & perinatal mortality & whether its benefits were experienced equitably across communities.
Their findings are very encouraging.

🔥 #Inflammation is your body’s response to infection or injury, but in overdrive it can result in your immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue. It's the cause of 50% of deaths worldwide & underpins hundreds of chronic diseases & conditions. 🌏

Would you use your cycle for science?
Do you have a #MenstrualCycle? 🩸
We're conducting a study to help us understand the physical, social & emotional factors that may influence a person’s decision to participate in studies about #MenstrualFluid.

A tower of macarons shaped and decorated like different cell types
Belated post of my macaron centrepiece from last week’s @ciiid-hudson.bsky.social Christmas party – “the cells of CiiiD”. A lot of work to produce this undetermined number of macarons (I lost count) 🙃 Big thanks to @biorender.bsky.social who I used to make the templates! @hudsonresearch.bsky.social

Congrats to this year's National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Idea Grant recipients! 👏🥳
Seven of our researchers have been awarded over $13.4 million in NHMRC Ideas Grants to work on projects ranging from newborn health to viral & bacterial infections. Read more 👉 bit.ly/496uNVH
🚨 Preprint Alert 🚨
We discovered a new regulator of RIG-I-like receptors #MDA5 #RIG-I, which are critical innate immune sensors of #RNA that detect #viral infection.

Dr Abdul Razak & A/Prof Courtney McDonald have discovered inflammation in the womb doesn’t just strike once, it lingers, sometimes for months after birth, continuing to harm fragile neural tissue long after the initial exposure & causing lasting damage to the developing brain

Our researchers are uncovering how infection & inflammation affect developing brains, so we can protect the most vulnerable babies & give them the best start in life.

Tiny patients. Big breakthroughs.
1 in 10 babies is born too soon. #PretermBirth is the leading cause of death and disability in children.
Baby Elias was born at just 22 weeks, no bigger than a soft drink, fighting to survive. Tiny babies like Elias are at risk of brain injury from inflammation, which can cause lifelong conditions.

Prof Kate Loveland, Dr Julia Young & Dr Penny Whiley's latest research has pinpointed the essential role that the importin 5 protein (IPO5) plays in sperm formation. #MaleInfertility

🔬 Our annual Young Women in Science program was a huge success this year, giving ten Year 10 students from Melbourne’s south-east the opportunity to explore their passion for science.
Thank you to program coordinator, Dr Fiona Cousins & all the supervisors who guided & mentored the students.
