20.05.2022 SAHMRI researchers have conducted the first-ever Australia-wide diet survey of infants and children aged 6 months to 2 years old and found all infants and a quarter of toddlers are failing to meet the recommended daily iron intake. Not getting enough iron is a concern because we know iron deficiency negatively impacts overall development. It can also cause tiredness, loss of appetite as well as poor growth and lead to anaemia, a condition that reduces oxygen in the body", says the study's co-lead Dr Merryn Netting, Research Fellow at SAHMRI Women and Kids.

25.01.2022 Everyone loves spiders, right? Our pain researchers certainly do. They use all sorts of spider (and snake) venom in the hunt for effective pain relief that can avoid people having to resort to using opioids. Professor Stuart Brierley (Flinders University) and his team have discovered venom from the Venezuelan Pinkfoot Goliath Tarantula can be effective for people living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and there are about 4 million of them in Australia.

22.01.2022 Continuing support from the Australian Hotels Association - SA Branch is helping keep SAHMRI’s #cancer researchers safe as they search for treatments for the deadly disease. The AHA(SA) has donated two #cytotoxic safety cabinets to protect researchers as they work with potentially dangerous chemicals, while simultaneously protecting the chemicals from external contamination
