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 Listen πŸ‘‡

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 πŸ‘‰ ab.co/4fEpE8o

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 Read more ➑️ direc.to/k_Yg

Got to learn alot from my illustrious co-authors @neosatyan and @DavidTingay and in reviewing the in-depth studies of Hillman and colleagues which have been essential to our understanding of corticosteroid. Many questions remain....
