Not enough twitter characters but lucky enough to expand our previous work with exciting lung organoids thanks to the generous mentoring of @RhiannonWerder and @NICUDrLeibel
Thanks to @nhmrc, @mark_butler_mp and @MCRI_for_kids for supporting this exciting and innovative study aimed at improving outcomes for our most vulnerable preterm babies.
Congrats to #MCRIβs Dr Prue Pereira Fantini, Dr @sam_manna3 and Dr @holly_voges who have received Ideas Grants from the @nhmrc for their projects across #neonatal medicine, infectious #disease and rheumatic #heart disease. | @dr_prue@Mark_Butler_MP

Its world prematurity day. 1:10 babies are born too soon. I feel so privileged to work with an amazing team @MCRI_for_kids who are working to help these courageous bubs and their families. @MFatmous@DavidTingay@ArunSett@LovelleInTheLab https://t.co/5aQsGlqJNF
Really appreciated this opportunity from @abcnewsradio to talk about our work exploring the first days of preterm life and early diagnosis tools. @DavidTingay@drbretty@3HKam
"We can specifically target those processes...before it really develops into...chronic lung disease." #MCRI's Dr Prue Pereira-Fantini has spoken to ABC News Radio, about how preterm baby's blood can show early signs of lung damage | #MedicalResearch@dr_prue@abcnews

This study, is just the beginning as we continue to use proteomics, imaging and other high fidelity methods to identify the drivers of preterm lung injury allowing identification of new treatments and precise diagnostic tools. #BLUEPRINTstudy@DavidTingay@drbretty@3HKam
"...we can treat the lung injury before chronic lung disease develops." #MCRI's Dr Prue Pereira-Fantini has spoken to @abcnews about a new study that explains how #BPD can be detected hours after a #preterm baby is born. | @dr_prue

Research led by #MCRI's Dr Prue Pereira-Fantini has featured on the @geelongaddy's front page, detailing how early signs of bronchopulmonary dysplasia can be seen in the blood of #preterm babies just hours after birth. | #MedicalResearch#LungDisease#BPD@dr_prue

Really excited to promote our study, now in print with @AJRCMB. Thankyou to Atticus' family, the families and staff of @thewomens for their support. Looking forward to validating and building on these results during the BLUEPRINT study! @DavidTingay@drbretty@3HKam
A blood test can help predict which #preterm babies will go onto develop chronic lung disease, allowing for earlier diagnosis and more targeted treatments, according to a new #MCRI led study. | #MedicalResearch#LungDisease#BPD#ChildHealth
