Dr Claudine Kraan (BBNSc Hons, PhD) is a cognitive neuroscientist and Senior Research Fellow at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI). She co-leads planning behind the GenV Early School Wave - a two-generation, cell-to-society measurement across every community in Victoria being designed to generate multi-use data that functions as a census, a trial platform, and a policy-testing and simulation tool.
Held appointments are in GenV, Prevention Innovation, MCRI, the Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, and University of Melbourne (Honorary Level C). She has a PhD in Advanced Behavioural Neuroscience from the School of Psychology, Monash University and a recently completed a NHMRC fellowship in Genomic Medicine at MCRI.
Her research spans population health screening, neurodevelopmental disorders, and inclusive research practice. She has secured over $1 million in competitive funding through fellowships and grants including the NHMRC, Financial Markets Foundation for Children, and MCRI's Population Health Theme. Her work has been published in leading journals and has contributed to national guidelines.
Dr Kraan is Vice Chair of the Fragile X Association of Australia's Scientific, Clinical and Research Committee, founder of the Annual Fragile X Roundtable, and host of the Fragile Research Roundup webinar. She has contributed to public health translation through peer review for academic journals and consumer-facing resources, including Raising Children Network, Better Health Channel, and HealthPathways.
She mentors a diverse team of fellows and research officers, and has supervised students across Honours, Master of Genetic Counselling, MD Scholars and medical placements. Her career reflects a strong commitment to inclusive research, translational impact, and collaborative leadership.
