Telethon Institute research provides new insights into the cause of asthma attacks

Telethon Institute for Child Health Research scientist Dr Anthony Bosco has been recognised for his cutting edge research investigating asthma attacks

New system for predicting asthma in children

Asthma researchers at Perth's The Kids for Child Health Research are developing a world first system for predicting the severity of asthma in children

Perth researchers test stress link to asthma

Scientists at The Kids for Child Health Research have launched an innovative project to test the relationship between stress and asthma.

Asthma steroid without side effects

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

Many Healthy Lungs

In partnership with Derbarl Yerrigan Health Service and the Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Service, we aim to improve Aboriginal lung health by determining for the first time the baseline lung function of Aboriginal Australians.

Testing your lungs: Spirometry

Healthy lungs help you to breathe better. This means you can sleep better, as well as play sports, run and walk without being short winded.

Mechanisms of Acute Viral Respiratory Illness in Children (MAVRIC)

Large numbers of children need emergency medical treatment each year for respiratory illnesses, particularly for wheezing and asthma.

Pharmacological ablation of the airway smooth muscle layer—Mathematical predictions of functional improvement in asthma

Findings provide further proof of concept that pharmacological targeting of airway smooth muscle thickness will be beneficial and may be facilitated by azithromycin

Airway Epithelial Cell Immunity Is Delayed During Rhinovirus Infection in Asthma and COPD

We propose that propensity for viral exacerbations of asthma and COPD relate to delayed expression of epithelial cell innate anti-viral immune genes

Systems biology and big data in asthma and allergy: recent discoveries and emerging challenges

We describe recent "omic"-level findings, and examine how these findings have been systematically integrated to generate further insight
