Projects seeking partnership
Alzheimer’s Vaccine Development: Bioengineering Breakthroughs
This pioneering research aims to bioengineer a vaccine to prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. The development of this vaccine has the potential to offer a safe, affordable, and accessible treatment to reduce the number of people affected by Alzheimer’s across the globe.
Preeclampsia Diagnostic Advancement: Point of Care Platform
Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and foetal death and morbidity in pregnancy, with no current cure in sight and limited monitoring strategies. We are developing a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool for early and reliable detection of preeclampsia, aimed at significantly reducing maternal and foetal mortality, especially in remote areas. The proposed technology can provide results in 15 minutes with high sensitivity, promising a revolution in antenatal care globally.
Birthing on Country: Honouring Indigenous Midwifery Practices
We’re enriching midwifery education with our ‘Birthing on Country’ program, intertwining cultural traditions with clinical practice for Indigenous students, nurturing a new generation of culturally aware healthcare professionals while ensuring culturally safe healthcare practice.
Older, Isolated, and Legally Unrepresented: Legal Needs Research
This project will investigate the legal needs and risks for older Australians who experience social isolation. Laws, policies and practices are often premised on assumptions that older people have trusted family members or friends to act as legal decision-makers in health, financial and personal matters. This project will undertake pioneering research to uncover how many older Australians are legally unrepresented and to understand the impacts of this form of isolation on their legal, health and wellbeing outcomes.
Philanthropy and partnerships are critical to our mission. The community we build around us is as important as the work itself, and we hope you’ll be part of it. Contact the team to find out more:
