ORIGINS Features at The CAHS SymposiumORIGINS featured heavily at this years Child and Adolescent Health Services (CAHS) Symposium, with presentations from our Co-Director, Professor Desiree Silva, and ORIGINS Data Manager, Dr Sarah Whalan.
RHINO researchers from The Kids' Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre, will analyse ORIGINS data and turn it into meaningful respiratory and allergy outcome data that can be used by researchers around the world.
This sub-project aims to fill the gap in knowledge of the effects of climate change on child health and wellbeing in Australia, and to propose data-driven adaptation trials to counter the most serious impacts.

Quantitative subcellular reconstruction reveals a lipid mediated inter-organelle biogenesis networkThe structures and functions of organelles in cells depend on each other but have not been systematically explored. We established stable knockout cell lines of peroxisomal, Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum genes identified in a whole-genome CRISPR knockout screen for inducers of mitochondrial biogenesis stress, showing that defects in peroxisome, Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum metabolism disrupt mitochondrial structure and function.
Mitochondrial diseases are devastating disorders for which there are no cures or effective treatments. Our project will focus on the prevention of mitochondrial diseases and discovery of effective cures.
