Professor James McWha, Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Adelaide, has officially opened the Robinson Institute's new research facility at the Lyell McEwin Hospital.
The space will be managed by Associate Professor Vicki Clifton, Head of the Institute's Pregnancy and Development Group. The group's research has both clinical and basic science aspects and has the potential to make a significant impact on improving clinical outcomes for women and babies, and the longer term impacts of pregnancy complications on childhood disease.
The new research space at the Lyell McEwin Hospital builds on the close association researchers of the Robinson Institute have with hospitals in South Australia including; the Women's and Children's Hospital, the Royal Adelaide Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and of course the Lyell McEwin. This enables the strong translation of research discoveries to improve clinical practice.
