Funded Activity Summary

Cerebral palsy is an early brain injury that affects movement. Every year in Australia, this life long condition will be identified in another 600 infants. This Early Career Fellowship will train an Australian researcher to evaluate promising prevention strategies that could reduce the overall incidence of cerebral palsy for the first time. The researcher will also investigate other causes of cerebral palsy including birth defects that occur very early in pregnancy.
