Early ORIGINS: Disease prevention starts with the early years

The Joondalup Health Campus and The Kids are investigating how childhood and adult-onset diseases can be prevented during foetal development and in the early years of life.

Sub-Project Initiation and Approval Process

Accessing the ORIGINS cohort, database or biological samples involves a process of review and approval.

ORIGINS Biobank

The ORIGINS Biobank is collecting biological samples from participant families at 10 timepoints between the time of pregnancy and the child turning five years of age.

ORIGINS Databank

ORIGINS is collecting physiological, biological and clinical data from the mother, partner/father and child at numerous points to track development and change.

Research Interest Groups

The goal of the Research Interest Groups is to facilitate the development of rigorous, competitive, and inclusive applications, including research proposal and funding applications.

Gateway to Allergy Prevention

This project aims to examine whether maternal probiotic supplementation promotes an enhanced immunomodulatory breastmilk composition likely to promote infant oral tolerance, and reduce food allergy in breastfed children.

IRON Child

One in three children in WA suffer iron deficiency leading to poor sleep, fussy eating, and behavioural difficulties. This project aims to develop mechanisms to prevent and treat the problems before they become clinically significant and translate findings to other communities to improve childhood wellness.
