An essential nutrient found in breastmilk can help protect babies from #infection & chronic #inflammation. The study, a collaboration b/w #MCRI & @BakerResearchAu has unlocked important answers about the benefits of #breastfeeding.

MCRI's Dr Toby Mansell spoke to @theheraldsun👇

Breastfeeding until at least six months helps #babies to fight off infections and reduces chronic #inflammation, a new #MCRI and @BakerResearchAu-led study finds. @Deakin @BarwonHealth @MansellToby #Breastfeeding #ChildHealth

Massive congratulations to our brilliant @MischHub biostatistician Peixuan Li for her @unimelbMSPGH 2022 Top Graduating Student Award in the Master of Biostatistics and Capstone Excellence Award - Master of Biostatistics Research Project 🥂

Thanks to 7NEWS for the opportunity to talk about our research! There's still a lot of questions that need answers about the possible links between early life infections and later health, but it's something we're excited to be investigating.

New research has revealed babies who are prone to the common cold may be more likely to develop heart problems later in life. Joining @mikeamor7 live now is lead researcher Dr Toby Mansell from the @MCRI_for_kids. https://t.co/5zYfOfGqUb #7NEWS

[Toby Mansell @MansellToby]

Very excited to have this work out there! This is a really interesting finding and potentially a very important one, and a key question is how persistent these effects are. We've got many steps to go to in understand these processes, but it's exciting to be investigating this!

An MCRI-led has discovered a potential pathway linking #infections in #infancy to #cardiovascular disease risk later in adulthood, offering opportunities for early targeted intervention | @BurgnerDave @MansellToby @CCCH_AU

Thank you so much to @MCRI_for_kids @RCHMelbourne @RCH_Foundation for the fellowship! This award will support my #multiomic research into understanding the effects of childhood exposures, infections, and #inflammation in shaping later risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

[Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) @MCRI_for_kids]

🌟 Congrats to the @MCRI_for_kids and @RCHMelbourne early to mid-career #researchers who have been awarded scholarships and fellowships to support their research into #childhood #health conditions. @RCH_Foundation

Back on site for work for the first time in months - I had forgotten how nice the view from my desk was! Lovely day for it too.

[Toby Mansell @MansellToby]

First post-doc paper is now out in Pediatric Research! We investigated several pregnancy/birth outcomes in relation to the cord serum NMR metabolome, and found associations across a range of metabolites including cholesterol, fatty acids, and amino acids. https://t.co/7RiTalag1H

I'm excited to share we've just published our findings in Epigenetics on a possible link between HIF3A DNA methylation in early life and childhood cardiovascular health in the Barwon Infant Study, a longitudinal Australian pre-birth cohort! https://t.co/ao7bCz3OBu

[Toby Mansell @MansellToby]

Our latest publication came out in @IntJObesity, on the inverse relationship between early life DNA methylation of the leptin gene promoter region and later childhood weight and adiposity in the Barwon Infant Study. @MCRI_for_kids

https://t.co/sIgBCGvXRq

[Toby Mansell @MansellToby]

Just published: our manuscript on the genetic and environmental influences on offspring blood methylation of the leptin gene! Infant sex, cis-genetic variation, birth weight, and exposure to preeclampsia all show evidence of associations with methylation. https://t.co/pZs6zRfZBd
