Our research into paediatric infections brings together researchers from across Õ¬Äи£Àû and affiliated institutions to share knowledge and build cohesive relationships. We aim to improve interventions and treatments for paediatric infections.
Our goals
Develop networks and enhance collaborations.
- formalise networks/collaborations
- facilitate bespoke (non-traditional) collaborations.
Maintain and grow research capacity, support education and knowledge transfer.
- encourage and fund high quality research
- partner with clinical school.
Build translational capacity.
- support clinicians to engage with research
- develop clinical-research network across the precinct to advocate and normalize translation of research into clinical practice.
Adapt to research priorities for clinical and educational needs.
- partner with local, state, and national bodies.
