Stronger starts, brighter futures - Partnering with families & transforming care to help preterm babies thrive
Over 1,300 babies are born extremely preterm (EP), born less than 28 weeks' gestation, in Australia each year.
EPIC (Extremely Preterm Infant Centre of Research Excellence) is Australia’s first dedicated centre focused on improving outcomes for tiny babies.
EPIC builds on the rich legacy from the previous CRE in Newborn Medicine.
Our vision
Create new knowledge through cutting edge trials
Translate research into practise
Grow future leaders in newborn health
Build strong partnerships locally and globally
Together we hope to pave the way for clinicians and families to improve important health and developmental outcomes for children born extremely preterm.
Our team
We bring together researchers, clinicians, families and community partners to tackle the biggest health and development challenges these babies face.
The EPIC team is proud to lead through innovative research and strong partnerships so that every child born preterm can thrive.
