Research

We are the leading funder of craniofacial research in Australia. We have Australia’s best scientists at our side and as long as we fund their work, we will continue to see better treatments, management and preventative measures for future generations.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and community, Craniofacial Australia is committed to improving the lives of people with craniofacial deformities by supporting and funding good ideas.

2. Understanding genetic pathways that regulate palate closure by Assoc. Prof. Sebastian Dworkin
