An exposome perspective: Early-life events and immune development in a changing world

Here we review the historical origins of exposome research and define a new concept, the metaexposome

Differential gene network analysis for the identification of asthma-associated therapeutic targets in allergen-specific T-helper memory responses

Differential network analysis of allergen-induced CD4 T cell responses can unmask covert disease-associated genes and pin point novel therapeutic targets

Epithelial-dendritic cell interactions in allergic disorders

Airway epithelial cells act through multiple mechanisms to function as an important component of the pulmonary defence strategy that is crucial...

Identifying Infants <32 Weeks' Gestation at Low Risk of Early-Onset Sepsis: A 10-Year Retrospective Study from Western Australia

Preterm infants are commonly treated with antibiotics on admission to the neonatal unit as part of routine care. We aimed to identify infants <32 weeks' gestation at low risk of early-onset sepsis (EOS) in whom antibiotics could be safely withheld.
