Illuminate PitchFest is back! We are excited to introduce you to 10 trailblazing researchers who will be taking to the stage this February to pitch their bold and bright ideas.
The long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes following preterm birth during the surfactant era remain unclear. Respiratory symptoms, particularly exertional symptoms, are common in preterm children. Therefore, cardiopulmonary exercise testing may provide insights into the pathophysiology driving exertional respiratory symptoms in those born preterm. This review aims to outline the current knowledge of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the assessment of children born preterm in the surfactant era.
Perth researchers have found toxic and harmful chemicals in several dozen e-cigarette liquids readily available in Australia.

Children with cystic fibrosis will be included in the next phase of a clinical trial of a promising new treatment pioneered in Western Australia aimed at boosting their immune responses to infections. Originally developed by researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia and Perth Children’s Hospital.

Biodiesel is created through the transesterification of fats/oils and its usage is increasing worldwide as global warming concerns increase. Biodiesel fuel properties change depending on the feedstock used to create it.
The method outlined in this article is a customization of the whole exhaust exposure method generated by Mullins et al. (2016) using reprogrammed primary human airway epithelial cells as described by Martinovich et al. (2017). It has been used successfully to generate recently published data (Landwehr et al. 2021). The goal was to generate an exhaust exposure model where exhaust is collected from a modern engine, real-world exhaust concentrations are used and relevant tissues exposed to assess the effects of multiple biodiesel exposures.
