The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have been awarded more than $8 million in prestigious project grants from the NHMRC.

Eight The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers are among those who have received grant funding from the Telethon-Perth Children’s Hospital Research Fund (TPCHRF).

We therefore speculate that removal of wP from the vaccine schedule contributed to the observed rise in IgE-mediated food allergy among Australian infants

Increased maternal egg ingestion is associated with increased breastmilk ovalbumin, and markers of immune tolerance in infants

Precautionary allergen labelling is the main tool available to indicate safety levels for food-allergic consumers with regard to potential allergens

The rise in IgE-mediated food allergy in recent times is the likely result of gene-environment interactions mediated via epigenetic pathways.

Peanut allergy is the the most common cause of life-threatening food-induced anaphylaxis. There is currently no effective long-term treatment. There is a pressing need for definitive treatments that improve the quality of life and prevent fatalities. Allergen oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a promising approach, which is effective at inducing desensitisation; however, OIT has a limited ability to induce sustained unresponsiveness (SU).
