The Minister for Health, Tanya Plibersek, last week launched Ten of the Best Research Projects 2012, a publication that showcases the work of some of the finest medical researchers in the country.
And our very own Prof. Stuart Hooper was on the honor roll.
Stuart, with Prof. Richard Harding and team, are working to improve the health outcomes of preterm babies. In particular, they are interested in how best to support the function of preterm babies’ lungs. The team have already found that lowering levels of oxygen administered enables gas pressure to be maintained in the lungs while reducing unwanted side effects associated with higher levels.
Congratulations to Stuart and his team.
