New genetic biobank could hold the key to preventing SIDS
A state-of-the-art genetic biobank could hold the key to preventing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), potentially saving the lives of hundreds of babies who die from the devastating condition each year.
Developed by the University of South Australia, the biobank comprises DNA from 25 babies who have died from SIDS in South Australia.
It s the only one of its kind in the Southern hemisphere, and one of only a few that exist in the world.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexpected, and unexplained death of an apparently well baby, despite clinical investigations, including autopsy.

Milk makeover: a great start for a healthy heart
A dash of milk could make all the difference to a healthy heart as new research from the University of South Australia finds that people who regularly consume milk have a lower risk of heart disease.
Conducted in partnership with theUniversity of Reading, the world-first study used a genetic-approach to investigate causal relationships between milk consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease.
Assessing genetic biomarkers among 400,000+ people, the study found that greater milk consumption was associated with lower blood cholesterol, lower blood lipid levels, and a lower risk of heart disease.
