Long-term derangement of antigen presenting cell populations in the respiratory tract following Influenza A infection

This project investigates how different populations of cells within the respiratory tract immune system are altered during a viral infection.

ORIGINS

The ORIGINS Team is studying early environments and parental physical health and genetics to uncover when and why non-communicable diseases (NCDs) develop.

Geospatial and Tuberculosis (GeoTB)

The Geospatial and Tuberculosis (GeoTB) team led by Kefyalew Alene focuses on designing an innovative approach for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public health interventions to help control and ultimately eliminate tuberculosis in high-burden countries.

Research

Attenuation of maternal inflammatory responses during pregnancy to promote normal immune and behavioral outcomes in the offspring

This study will identify how the immune system contributes to neurodevelopmental outcomes and will investigate the use of an agent from traditional medicines.

Research

Centre for Advanced Cancer Genomics (CACG)

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

Translational Genomics in Leukaemia

The Translational Genomics in Leukaemia team is focused on identifying the causes of leukaemia, with the goal of developing new targeted treatments to improve quality of care and long-term survival for all children with leukaemia.

Suicidal behaviours

Young people aged 11 years and older provided information on their suicidal ideation, suicide plans and suicide attempts.

Mitochondrial Medicine and Biology

Mitochondrial diseases are devastating disorders for which there are no cures or effective treatments. Our project will focus on the prevention of mitochondrial diseases and discovery of effective cures.

Vaccine Trials Group

We are evaluating new vaccines for a range of diseases including influenza, pneumococcal, meningococcal and common infections such as otitis media (glue ear).

RSV Study for Pregnant Mums

The study aims to determine whether an RSV vaccine given to pregnant women during the third trimester can protect newborn babies from RSV infections.
