Congratulations to Emerita Professor Caroline Crowther on her appointment as a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, an honour that reflects her outstanding contributions to research and her enduring impact on clinical care and health outcomes for women and babies. 🙌
Learn about the PROMOAT trial, our first pregnancy study which is set to begin soon!
PROMOAT will study which antibiotic regimen given to pregnant people with preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) is best at improving health outcomes for preterm infants.
Take a look inside BabyCCINO, our first Neonatal study within PLATIPUS.
This video resource is for families who are considering joining the trial. Watch as our founder and trial Co-Chair @drbretty explains how to participate in this vital research.

The BiB trial from the US of intratracheal budesonide mixed with surf is published, and confirms the results of the @PlussTrial #neotwitter
In extremely preterm infants, intratracheal budesonide mixed with surfactant did not reduce bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death by 36 weeks' postmenstrual age.

Special thanks to Stephanie Hebbard, Kelly Fredell, Tara Lofhelm, the PLATIPUS Lived Experience Committee and other members who helped create this.
We were thrilled to see the work of PLATIPUS's very own @DrKatieGroom in this article!
