Understanding the factors governing susceptibility and outcome in childhood infection [ 2009 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Burgner (Principal investigator)

Brief description This research seeks to understand why a minority of children are prone to severe and often life-threatening infections and inflammation. It focusses on infections both in preterm infants and in later childhood, which may also be relevant to understanding atherosclerosis. I am also interested in improving the health of recently arrived refugees, by conducting research that allows the development of evidence-based health interventions and developing national policy on refugee health.
