Basophil counts in PBMC populations during childhood acute wheeze/asthma are associated with future exacerbations

Our findings suggest that the proportion of degranulated basophils can also be associated with recurrent exacerbations

Functional differences in airway dendritic cells determine susceptibility to IgE-sensitization

Respiratory IgE-sensitization to innocuous antigens increases the risk for developing diseases such as allergic asthma.

Research into innovative treatments for people with asthma and antibiotic resistance supported by Innovation Fellowships

Two outstanding researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre have been awarded a 2022 Innovation Fellowship supported by the WA Government's Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund.

Neonatal Health

Preterm babies have a heightened risk of infection as their immune system is not mature. The Neonatal Health Team is exploring new ways to diagnose, prevent and treat infections in WA's smallest patients .

Airway function in infancy is linked to airflow measurements and respiratory symptoms from childhood into adulthood

Lung airflow measurements track from birth into early adulthood, suggesting a permanent and stable airway framework is laid down in the antenatal period

Down syndrome or Rett syndrome in the family: Parental reflections on sibling experience

Siblings of children with intellectual disability have unique family experiences, varying by type of disability.
