Mothers, Babies and Lifelong Health
A healthy start to life is vital for lifelong health and
resistance to chronic diseases - including diabetes and heart
disease.
Our research is focused on improving health outcomes for
disorders of pregnancy, fetal growth restriction, stillbirth and
brain injury.
Researchers are exploring the links between pregnancy,
the fetal and newborn period, to lifelong health.
researches clinically important perinatal health problems & aims to achieve best possible health outcomes for mother & baby
research focuses on the development of fetal tissues and uterine tissues that play a part in the mechanism(s) of parturition
research interests include GABA and glutamate neurotransmission, & excitotoxicmechanisms of cell injury in the neonatal brain
investigates the way neurobiological understanding of addiction affects how we think about and treat individuals with an addiction
research focuses on the function & control of the cardiovascular system to understand hypoxic injury in human neonates
aims to advance the detection, interpretation & tracking of vital brain abnormalities in critically ill newborn babies
was the inaugural Director of UQCCR. His research examines the role of fetal mesenchymal stem cells in tissue repair
works on addiction and related topics from the perspectives of advances in genetics and neuroscience
interest is in neuromotor control of movement and stability, and changes in this system with pain
research aims to understand the complex dynamic impairments of children born preterm
aims to understand important physiological and disease processes in skin biology
research comprises of two inter-related areas - body composition and cardiovascular function in neonates.
aims to inform public policy on the possibility of neuroenhancement by pharmaceuticals that may be used to modify brain processes
research interests includebiomedical signal processing
main interest is in one carbon metabolism & its impact on maternal, foetal & neonatal health
examines Osteal macrophages (osteomacs) and their role in bone dynamics and therapeutic potential to treat bone diseases.
is interested in the area of neurotransmitter homeostasis in the normal and pathological brain
interest is in the epidemiology, screening, early behavioral interventions and treatment of high-risk child development
research investigates hypoxic/ischemic brain injury in the neonate
studies patients with rare bone dysplasias, to gain more insights into the mechanisms that lead to common skeletal disorders.
