24.01.2022 Professor Jeanine Young has worked in Australia and the United Kingdom in neonatal intensive care, paediatrics and community child health. Jeanine has a special interest in infant care practices; in particular breastfeeding and parent-infant bed-sharing. Jeanine has established a research program to investigate Queensland’s infant mortality rate, with a focus on evidence-based strategies for health professionals and parents to translate safe sleeping messages into practice an...d to reduce Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infant mortality. In collaboration with Change for our Children New Zealand, Jeanine is the Australian lead for the Ppi-Pod Program available in metropolitan, rural and remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The Ppi-Pod Program comprises a portable sleep space combined with safe sleep education as a culturally appropriate strategy to promote safe sleeping and breastfeeding in the context of shared sleeping. Jeanine also initiated the first Australian trial of a sleep enabler suitable for postnatal units to support breastfeeding and promote safer infant sleep environments in hospital (the ESCCaPE trial). Jeanine works in partnership with government, industry, safety and regulatory bodies, and communities in translating evidence into practical advice for parents. Her efforts in reducing infant mortality through supporting the role of health professionals and health promotion within communities have received state, national and international recognition. In June 2020, Jeanine was awarded a Member of an Order of Australia (AM) for her significant service to tertiary education, to medical research, and to nursing. https://www.usc.edu.au/staff-reposi/professor-jeanine-young

17.01.2022 Mia is a Senior Lecturer in Physiology at the University of the Sunshine Coast, where she co-leads the Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences Program, teaches undergraduate coursework and supervises research students from Honours to Doctoral level. Mia’s research investigates the biomarkers and potential mechanisms underpinning the benefits of exercise and other lifestyle interventions for improving cognition and reducing the risk of dementia in older adults and high-risk groups inc...luding patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Her work extends from laboratory studies through to clinical trials and community implementation studies with a translation focus. Her research has attracted more than $5.5M in competitive research funding as Chief Investigator since 2015, including from the NHMRC. Prior to joining USC Mia completed her postdoctoral training in exercise, ageing and cognitive decline at the Queensland Brain Institute. She established the UQ Centre for Exercise and Healthy Brain Ageing, which facilitates ongoing research into the effect of exercise on cognitive health in older adults. By combining measures of physiological and functional fitness, cognitive function, blood biochemistry, epigenetics, and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, she investigates how lifestyle intervention can improve brain health and slow, prevent, or even reverse cognitive disease progression in older adults. https://www.usc.edu.au/staff/dr-mia-a-schaumberg#biography See more
