Brain Injury In The Premature Born Infant: Stem Cell Regeneration Research Network
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$496,587.00
Summary
This project will validate to the stage of clinical trials a human mesenchymal stem cell paradigm to prevent brain injury associated with preterm birth: encephalopathy of prematurity (EoP), which leads to lifelong disability in millions of infants every year. We will achieve this by applying our vast expertise in EoP, across 7 in vivo and 11 in vitro models of EoP, by applying cutting-edge imaging approaches and partnering with experienced patient/consumer advocacy and industry partners.
