Medical student and PhD student James Aridas also won a Cerebral Palsy Alliance award for his research on protecting against brain injury in the newborn.

Great effort guys. Fabulous science.

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.
