prospects of infants

VICTOR YU FELLOWSHIP
The VICTOR YU FELLOWSHIP was created by a
substantial personal gift from Professor Victor Yu, who identified the need for
financial support to promote research in perinatal medicine and
science.
The VICTOR YU FELLOWSHIP will be offered, on a competitive basis, to suitably
qualified University graduates to pursue research at the Ritchie Centre for Baby
Health Research in areas relating to the growth, health and well-being of
babies, infants and children. The mission of the Ritchie Centre for Baby Health
Research is to enhance the lives of babies by improving their health through
greater knowledge of their development before and after birth.
Through the VICTOR YU FELLOWSHIP, the Ritchie Centre aims to further its
mission objectives in conducting clinical and basic science research, so
increasing the body of knowledge relating to normal and abnormal growth and
development of babies before and after birth. The Fellowship will be advertised
nationally and internationally, and will provide support for 3 years.
