Clinical Sciences

Our research is improving diagnosis, treatment, and care, saving lives, and creating better outcomes for our most vulnerable. We are involved in the care of babies, children and adolescents with serious acute and chronic illness, with the ultimate aim of saving lives and improving the long outcomes of our most vulnerable. 

For those who experience disease or illness, our research strives to ensure that treatment, diagnosis and care is of best-practice for babies, children and adolescents. The key to our research is improving the acute diagnosis and treatment in the paediatric setting, as well as following up the psychosocial and cognitive consequences for children who undergo clinical care. 

Working with globally competitive platforms, including The Royal Children's Hospital clinical databases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), clinical behavioural science expertise and clinician contributions, our researchers work to ensure our research leads to better outcomes for future generations.
