Affiliations with the Discipline of Paediatrics and their associated sites

• Clinical Toxinology Resources Website
  The Clinical Toxinology Resources Website has been developed by the Toxinology Department at the Women's and Children's Hospital (Children, Youth and Women's Health Service), in association with the Discipline of Paediatrics, University of Adelaide.
  This unique toxinology website will be the world's premier site for information about envenoming and poisoning by animals, plants and mushrooms, containing more information than any existing textbook on the subject.
• Lysosomal Diseases Research Unit
  Australasian Referral Laboratory for Lysosomal, Peroxisomal and Associated Genetic Disorders.
  The laboratory developed from a recognition in early 1970 that there was a requirement for both prenatal and postnatal diagnostic services in Australia for the (then) recently recognised group of inherited diseases, the lysosomal storage diseases. These disorders result mainly from enzyme abnormalities in the metabolism and catabolism of complex neurolipids and mucopolysaccharides. Later in early 1980, disorders of peroxisomal metabolism were added.

• Women's and Children's Health Research Institute
  The Women's & Children's Health Research Institute (WCHRI) is an independent research institute committed to understanding basic mechanisms involved in health and disease and to developing intellectual property beneficial to the health and development of children.
