Reports and Findings
Research
Asthma: Acute asthma flare-up in school-age childrenThe aim of this study is to identify differences in immune cells that are involved in the disease.
Research
Acute viral bronchiolitis in infants and young childrenThis project aims to plug this knowledge gap, and to open up new opportunities for development of better treatments targeted specifically at infants.
Research
Attenuation of maternal inflammatory responses during pregnancy to promote normal immune and behavioral outcomes in the offspringThis study will identify how the immune system contributes to neurodevelopmental outcomes and will investigate the use of an agent from traditional medicines.
Research
The impact of Influenza infection during early life on immune developmentThis study will investigate the why disease is worse in infants and how early life viral infection impacts the developing immune system.
Research
Mapping changes in immune cell populations in gestational tissues over the course of pregnancyThis is a strategic “pilot” project in which we are seeking basic information on the immune cell content of gestational tissues.
Research
Long-term derangement of antigen presenting cell populations in the respiratory tract following Influenza A infectionThis project investigates how different populations of cells within the respiratory tract immune system are altered during a viral infection.
Research
Finding the cellular explanation for recurrent asthma exacerbationsThis study is designed to identify the specific unique immune cell response that occurs in these children with recurrent disease.
Research
Maternal alcohol disorders and school achievement: a population cohort record linkage study in Western AustraliaChildren of mothers with alcohol use disorders are at risk of not meeting minimum educational benchmarks in numeracy and literacy, with the risk highest among Indigenous children.
Research
Optical coherence tomography-based contact indentation for diaphragm mechanics in a mouse model of transforming growth factor alpha induced lung diseaseThis study tested the utility of optical coherence tomography-based indentation to assess mechanical properties of respiratory tissues in disease
Research
Initiating an undiagnosed diseases program in the Western Australian public health systemWe describe the initiation and summary outcomes of a public health system approach for complex undiagnosed patients- the Undiagnosed Diseases Program - WA
