Nirsevimab binding-site conservation in respiratory syncytial virus fusion glycoprotein worldwide between 1956 and 2021: an analysis of observational study sequencing dataNirsevimab is an extended half-life monoclonal antibody to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion protein that has been developed to protect infants for an entire RSV season. Previous studies have shown that the nirsevimab binding site is highly conserved. However, investigations of the geotemporal evolution of potential escape variants in recent (ie, 2015–2021) RSV seasons have been minimal.

Making a SmartStart for peanut introduction to support food allergy prevention guidelines for infantsFood allergy affects up to 10% of Australian infants. It was hypothesized that if parents follow the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy guidelines, Australian food allergy rates may stabilize or decline.

Intellectual disabilities and autism among children with congenital heart defects, Western Australia, 1983–2010Children with congenital heart defects (CHDs) are at higher risk of developing an intellectual disability. However, severity of intellectual disabilities among this group of children are largely unknown. Our objective was to determine the risk of intellectual disability (ID), ID severity, and autism among children with CHDs.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)RSV hospitalises millions of babies worldwide every year: our research is helping to change that.
While COVID-19 is new and frightening, these resources are designed to help families tackle the challenges this virus has created for us.
Between 1989 and 1991, almost 3,000 WA babies were recruited to the Raine Study - an ambitious research project which would yield a series of paradigm-shifting findings that changed scientific thinking. Three decades on, it has also changed the lives of those taking part.
Our team aims to optimise lung health early in life to ensure the best possible health outcomes later in life.
The Chronobiology team works to understand the factors that contribute to poor lung and heart function in newborn infants and find ways to prevent heart and lung disease.
Autism researchers at The Kids have led the most comprehensive review of the evidence for autism intervention ever compiled
A comprehensive app produced by The Kids researchers has offered parents a lifeline as they try to cope with the isolation and disruption caused by coronavirus.
