Western Australia has joined a major international study that could significantly change the treatment of asthma in children.

Rothwell Family Fellow; Head, Airway Epithelial Research

Almost 50 per cent of preschool children will experience at least one episode of wheeze, a whistling sound produced by the airways during breathing.

The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers are investigating whether a simple urine test could predict whether young children with wheezing symptoms will go on to develop asthma.

Epidemiologic associations between viral lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and asthma in later childhood are well known

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the small and large conducting airway mucosa characterised by Th2 cell immunity.

Atopy and asthma are commonly initiated during early life, and there is increasing interest in the development of preventive treatments for at-risk children.

This study investigates the impact of measuring adherence and providing feedback on medication usage by children with unstable asthma.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different macro-environments on asthma genotype-phenotype associations in 2 geographically separated populations

Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.
