Scientists at The University of Western Australia and Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute have been awarded $500,000 to develop new treatments for the world’s leading cause of cardiac death among children.
The funding boost from global biotechnology company CSL will be used to further research into hypertrophic cardiomyopathy – also known as ‘big heart syndrome’ – which affects children between five and 15 years old.

Researching common cold and COVID-19
Australian researchers are leading investigations into SARS-CoV-2 and discovering how the common cold might help immune cells see the virus.

A team from La Trobe University, in collaboration with QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Monash University and The University of Queensland, is leading the way in research on SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the disease we know as COVID-19.
Their significant finding, in the journal Immunity, reveals that catching the common cold might help our immune cells to “see” the SARS-CoV-2 virus before catching it.
