About ABC
The Australasian Brain Club has been created as a forum in which Discovery scientists, Clinician Scientists, Obstetricians, Neonatologists, Neurologists, Nursing and Allied health staff from around Australasia can come together to share research, experience and other learnings that pertain to optimising the care of the fetal and newborn brain.
Perinatal brain injury remains a highly significant problem for the high-risk newborn and proven targeted therapies to afford protection of the brain remain very limited. Our best chance of improving the health and development of the brain is to tackle the challenges together.
About NCT
Newborn Cell Therapies is an exciting field of research in perinatal medicine. With increasing survival of our sickest and most vulnerable babies, new innovations and therapies are required to give these babies the best chance of survival without long term complications.
Cell therapies (including stem cells and other biological agents) are derived from a variety of human tissue sources. These cellular agents offer promising prospects for new age innovations to improve specific organ function and outcomes.

Australasian Brain Club 2023 Meeting
Dear ABC 2023 contributors and attendees,
Thank you again for your attendance and engagement with Australasian Brain Club over the past couple of days.
We had many brilliant presentations on the science, clinical research, neuromonitoring, clinical practice, follow-up, equity in care, nursing and consumer perspectives pertaining to neonatal seizures.
It's a tricky topic! Please work with me as we grapple with the residual discomfort that I'm sure will inspire further research, and ultimately lead to better outcomes for these patients.
We look forward to seeing you again next year - or in the meantime at one of our Virtual Journal Club meetings.
With very best wishes
Rod Hunt
Convenor, ABC
