Dr Tayla Penny will receive a grant of more than $96,000 from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance to advance her work on improving understanding of umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cell treatment for perinatal brain injury.
Every 20 hours, an Australian baby is born with a brain injury that underlies cerebral palsy. It is a permanent, life-long condition with no cure. Around 34,000 Australians have cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term for a group of related but unique symptoms that encompass abnormal motor function or posture.
Hudson Institute is a leader in researching the use of UCB stem cell treatment for vulnerable newborns.
