COVID-19 Program of Research Steering Committee
The COVID-19 Research Steering Committee was established at the start of the pandemic to reference the COVID-19 research of the Melbourne Children’s Campus.
We aim to use our clinical, academic, and research domains to bring together campus research efforts. Our goal is to guide and support a collaborative, world-class research program addressing key global questions related to COVID-19, with a specific emphasis on children, adolescents, and their families.
