Portable equipment is available to enable bedside and community-led research in rural and remote communities, including Indigenous communities where children are disproportionately affected by chronic respiratory conditions.

The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.

The lungs represent a key interface between the body and the environment.
