儿童健康研究中心（CHRC）于2015年启动，汇集了领先的研究人员，以应对儿童和青少年健康的全球挑战。研究中心旨在更多地了解儿童的健康状况，以及在疾病和残疾发生之前预防疾病和残疾的潜力。
越来越多的证据表明，长期健康在孕前和妊娠期间以及整个儿童早期都受到父母健康的影响，因此对儿童健康进行研究工作至关重要。
昆士兰大学CHRC包括许多研究小组，研究儿童健康的方方面面，从孕产妇健康和新生儿健康，烧伤和创伤，呼吸系统疾病，脑瘫和康复，到环境健康以及社会和情感健康。这些小组在中心内，整个昆士兰大学以及与行业，政府和研究合作伙伴合作，以了解确保儿童健康的因素，并预防和治疗疾病和残疾。
无论各个研究小组关注什么，共同愿景都是相同的：在疾病和残疾发生之前预防疾病和残疾，从而为儿童提供终身健康的礼物。
CHRC汇集了来自一系列专业领域的研究人员，以解决儿童健康的一些重大问题。凭借传染病、营养和生长、烧伤、呼吸系统疾病、环境健康、联合健康、生物统计学、流行病学等方面的专家，研究人员正在与医生、护士、健康专家和家长合作，寻找新的和更好的方法来促进儿童健康和治疗常见的儿童疾病和伤害。
Launched in 2015, the Center for Child Health Research (CHRC) brings together leading researchers to address global challenges in child and adolescent health. The research centre aims to learn more about children's health status and the potential to prevent diseases and disabilities before they occur.
There is growing evidence that long-term health is affected by parental health before and during pregnancy and throughout early childhood, so research efforts on child health are critical.
CHRC at the University of Queensland includes a number of research groups that study all aspects of child health, from maternal and newborn health, burns and trauma, respiratory diseases, cerebral palsy and rehabilitation, to environmental health and social and emotional health. These groups work within the Centre, across the University of Queensland and with industry, government and research partners to understand the factors that ensure children's health and prevent and treat disease and disability.
Regardless of what the individual research groups focus on, the shared vision is the same: to prevent diseases and disabilities before they occur, thereby providing children with the gift of lifelong health.
CHRC brings together researchers from a range of specialist fields to address some of the biggest issues in children's health. With experts in infectious diseases, nutrition and growth, burns, respiratory diseases, environmental health, allied health, biostatistics, epidemiology, and more, researchers are working with doctors, nurses, health experts, and parents to find new and better ways to promote child health and treat common childhood illnesses and injuries.
