Three years in, and the journey continues!

Our team is back at HMRI and reconnecting with families as part of our ongoing research with the NEW1000 Stage Two Study. This is what long-term impact looks like in action.

If your child has recently turned 3 (or is about to) and you'd like to come in and be part of a developmental assessment, wed love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at new1000@newcastle.edu.au

How we use our samples at NEW1000

Over 3000 gut microbiome samples have been collected from mothers, partners, and babies to study how maternal diet influences infant food allergies and asthma. This research highlights the microbiome's crucial role in health and immune support, noting that disruptions can lead to conditions affecting 10% of Australian children. The NEW1000 is investigating dietary impacts on the microbiome, aiming to develop treatments for healthier future generations.
