Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community

Battling the Bugs: What's working and what could be done better to control childhood infectious disease

Despite the advance of modern medicine, infectious diseases remain a leading cause of death worldwide and a serious threat to our children. But researchers in the Vaccinology and Immunology Research Trials Unit (VIRTU) and Children's Research Centre based at Adelaide's Women's and Children's Hospital are making progress. Led by the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Associate Professor Helen Marshall, these teams have been tackling some big questions.

What can we learn from community response to the 2009 Swine Flu pandemic? What more can we do to prevent infant deaths from our current Whooping Cough epidemic? And how close is a vaccine for Meningococcal B infection, potentially fatal and responsible for 85% of all Meningococcal cases in 最新糖心Vlogn children?

In this informative presentation Associate Professor Marshall will provide some answers.
