Congratulations to Centre Scientist Dr Tamara Yawno who has recently been awarded a LEW Carty Charitable Fund grant to continue her work: "Cord blood stem cells to reduce brain injury in preterm infants".
This important funding will allow Tamara and her colleagues to further explore how stem cells collected from cord blood might heal the injured newborn brain.
In Tamara's words: "We aim to to provide the scientific basis and knowledge to best inform how and when cord blood cells could be administered following a severe brain injury in premature infants. We hope that this work will prevent cerebral palsy in future generations of premature babies."
Exciting work. Well done Tamara.
