Tiny lives, tiny breaths but huge challenges

In the Australian Newspaper recently, Professor Stuart Hooper of the Ritchie Centre highlighted the challenges facing tiny newborn babies. Stuart is a world leading expert on fetal lung development. Over the past few years, his research has been re-writing the "How To" textbooks on caring for premature babies. Using advanced technology such as the Synchrotron, Stuart and his group have shown just how traditional resuscitation methods can damage a baby's lungs. Thanks to his work, tomorrow's babies with breath much easier.
