Craniofacial dysmorphism is associated with thousands of genetic and environmental disorders. Delineation of salient facial characteristics can guide clinicians towards a correct clinical diagnosis and understanding the pathogenesis of the disorder. Abnormal facial shape might require craniofacial surgical intervention, with the restoration of normal shape an important surgical outcome.

By investigating the way that breastmilk guides children’s immune trajectory, we provide evidence-based recommendations for the development of happy healthy kids

The Pregnancy and Early Life Immunology team's overall research vision is targeted towards understanding immunological development during early life.

This research project was part of the broader Ngulluk Koolunga Ngulluk Koort (Our Children, Our Heart) five-year (2016 to 2020) project.

Research

We are studying immune cells from identical twins of which one suffers and one does not suffer from allergic disease to identify specific mechanisms that may play important roles in disease development.
