Establishing a biobank to carry out future studies to identify genetic variants that contribute to Sudden Infant Death syndrome is the aim of @UniversitySA Prof Leanne Dibbens, who's just been awarded a $90,000 grant from Channel 7 Children's Research Foundation for this work👏

Replying to @ACPreH1
@ACPreH1 @sahmriAU Very excited to share our recent publication - Vitamin D Deficiency Increases Mortality Risk in the UK Biobank.
New #research from @UniversitySA shows that #vitamin D deficiency is associated with premature #death, prompting calls for people to follow healthy vitamin D level guidelines. #health ow.ly/5Kkc50LkYpx

Our genetic analyses provide supporting evidence that low vitamin D status can contribute to chronic inflammation, measured by elevated C-reactive protein @ACPreH1
If you're low on Vitamin D, you could be at risk of #inflammatory diseases such as #type2diabetes or #heartdisease, according to world-first #research from @UniversitySA ow.ly/v2XL50KesAG

ACPreH director Elina Hypponen talks about their work on vitamin D deficiency and dementia. Collaboration between @ACPreH1 @UniversitySA and @DrDJLlewellyn @ExeterMed.
Adelaide researchers have made a breakthrough discovery that could help reduce your risk of dementia. In a world first, the team at UniSA have uncovered a direct link between the brain condition and a lack of sunshine. @benavery9 #9News
