Research
Influence of secular trends and sample size on reference equations for lung function testsThe aim of our study was to determine the contribution of secular trends and sample size to lung function reference equations, and establish the number...
Research
Respiratory function in healthy Emirati children using forced oscillationsForced oscillation technique measurements were feasible in Emirati school-children. New forced oscillation technique reference equation in Emirati children were derived.
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
Research
Developing sensitive endpoints for respiratory disease progression in children with neuromuscular diseaseWe hope that through earlier diagnosis and treatment of muscle weakness during sleep, we can prevent future lung failure in children with neuromuscular disorders.

Early life exposure to coal mine fire smoke emissions and altered lung function in young childrenInfant exposure to coal mine fire emissions could be associated with long-term impairment of lung reactance
We have multiple positions available in child health research in the areas of asthma, cystic fibrosis, Aboriginal health and following preterm birth.

Changes in the FEV/FVC ratio during childhood and adolescence: an intercontinental studyIn children, the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁) to forced vital capacity (FVC) is reportedly constant or falls linearly with age...
