Research into chronic lung disease in Indigenous children and a novel RSV treatment boosted thanks to WACRF grants

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).

Associations between respiratory and vascular function in early childhood

The link between respiratory and vascular health is well documented in adult populations. Impaired lung function is consistently associated with thicker arteries and higher incidence of cardiovascular disease. However, there are limited data on this relationship in young children and the studies that exist have focussed on populations at high risk of cardiorespiratory morbidity.
