The Department of Women’s and Children’s Health is internationally renowned for its research and teaching, with specialist groups covering obstetrics, gynaecology, neonatology and medical and surgical paediatrics.
The Department is devoted to understanding and improving women’s reproductive health and health events and outcomes for children and young people, and studying how they determine health and wellbeing throughout a lifetime.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning disease and developing effective therapies will contribute to the prevention and treatment of chronic pathology, resulting in improved lifetime health and reduced healthcare costs.
