An innovative response-adaptive approach to driving improvements in health outcomes, applied to cystic fibrosis.
The project aims to build capacity in regenerative medicine for children with respiratory diseases.
The delay in community transmission of the new Coronavirus in WA, together with the strict, social distancing measures that have been adopted, provide us with an opportunity to observe the level of immunity development to the virus within the community and assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on health and well-

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis, which has accelerated due to the overuse of antibiotics.
Hallmarks of cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease include bronchiectasis, airway inflammation by infiltrating polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and recurring infection.
Once thought to be a simple barrier to the external environment, epithelial cells are involved in many repair and inflammatory processes that occur in childhood airway diseases.
War and conflict severely disrupt public health systems, compromising infectious disease surveillance in many affected regions. Mpox, a re-emerging zoonotic disease, poses a growing global threat, especially in areas where traditional monitoring is inaccessible.The mpox virus has distinct clades with varying transmission and severity.
Consumption of nitrate in drinking water has previously been associated with a range of adverse health effects, including methemoglobinemia and potentially cancer. In animal models, it has been shown to impact respiratory structure and function, however, there is a paucity of data of the effects of in utero exposure on the respiratory health of offspring.
Promptly recognising changes in an acutely unwell child’s condition is fundamental to prevent tragic outcomes. Western Australian (WA) healthcare facilities used inconsistent and varied paediatric early warning systems. To improve care consistency, a standardised ESCALATION system, inclusive of family involvement and sepsis recognition, was developed.
