Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre researchers will use almost $1.2 million in WA Child Research Fund grants to determine why Indigenous children develop bronchiectasis at such high rates after contracting bronchiolitis, and to test a promising novel treatment for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
