Investigating the demographic, lifestyle and diabetes management factors associated with the incidence of severe hypoglycemia
The objectives of this study are to study the epidemiology of childhood diabetes in Western Australia from 1985 onwards.
We are studying immune cells from identical twins of which one suffers and one does not suffer from allergic disease to identify specific mechanisms that may play important roles in disease development.
This study is designed to identify the specific unique immune cell response that occurs in these children with recurrent disease.
Studies in Europe show exposure of pregnant women to high levels of microbial products stimulate immune function maturation in their offspring
The study aims to identify the mechanism for this so that this knowledge can be used to better treat asthma and allergies in both males and females.
This project investigates how cells of the immune system respond to substances to cause allergies to help develop new treatments.
The overarching aim of this project is to understand how plasmacytoid dendritic cells function in children with asthma and how genes and environmental stimuli influence these cells.
