For 25 years, the institute has pioneered research to improve outcomes for premature infants, including landmark work like magnesium sulphate and dextrose gel. Their latest MOPeD study tracks development in this high-volume, high-risk group, offering hope and data to families like Rachel Koenen, whose son Oren thrives despite being born early. With climate change and probiotics on the horizon, the institute continues to innovate, inviting everyone—from donors to participants—to help shape a healthier future for all babies.
