Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation Chair for the Prevention of Childhood Disability
The Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation Chair for the Prevention of Childhood Disability is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary research program focused on defining the origins and early diagnosis of childhood disability. Based in Adelaide and led by International Human Genetics expert, Professor Jozef Gécz, the five-year program (mid 2016 to mid 2021) was created to help understand more about the genetic basis of early childhood learning and movement disabilities, intellectual disabilities, early onset epilepsies, and autism.
