A study led by researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia has shown that electronic cigarettes can cause lung damage.
New research from Perth’s The Kids Research Institute Australia shows that babies born premature continue to have lung problems well into childhood.
Join us for our Annual Community Lecture entitled "You Are What You Breathe" with Professor Stephen Holgate.
Researchers are urging caution in the use of a widely accepted test for diagnosing asthma, after their study found it may not be accurate in some settings.

The AIRWAY-Preterm cohort is one of the most robust, well-studied cohorts in the world!
Healthy lungs help you to breathe better. This means you can sleep better, as well as play sports, run and walk without being short winded.
Lung damage in children with CF occurs much earlier than previously thought, and proving this is related to the decline that occurs later will create new paradigms for prevention and treatment.
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) drive lung function decline in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). While the respiratory microbiota is clearly associated with RTI pathogenesis in infants without CF, data on infants with CF is scarce. We compared nasal microbiota development between infants with CF and controls and assessed associations between early-life nasal microbiota, RTIs, and antibiotic treatment in infants with CF.
Multiple breath washout is a lung function test based on tidal breathing that assesses lung volume and ventilation distribution. The aim of this analysis was to use the Global Lung Function Initiative methodology to develop all-age reference equations for the multiple breath washout indices lung clearance index and functional residual capacity.
