A study led by researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia has shown that electronic cigarettes can cause lung damage.
New research from Perth’s The Kids Research Institute Australia shows that babies born premature continue to have lung problems well into childhood.
Join us for our Annual Community Lecture entitled "You Are What You Breathe" with Professor Stephen Holgate.
Researchers are urging caution in the use of a widely accepted test for diagnosing asthma, after their study found it may not be accurate in some settings.
The AIRWAY-Preterm cohort is one of the most robust, well-studied cohorts in the world!

The Kids Research Institute Australia strongly supports the Federal Government’s announcement today to introduce a suite of reforms aimed at banning non-prescription vaping products in Australia.
Perth researchers have found toxic and harmful chemicals in several dozen e-cigarette liquids readily available in Australia.
The identification of a COPD etiotype associated with preterm birth (COPD-developmental) has expedited calls for intervention strategies that may improve health outcomes for survivors of preterm birth (<37 weeks' gestation). Pulmonary-rehabilitation style training interventions achieve physiological and symptom improvement in older people with COPD, but whether similar training interventions are suitable for young people is unclear. We sought to understand the perceived need and requirements of an exercise training intervention for children, adolescents and adults born preterm.
Despite a high burden of respiratory disease among infants globally, limited options exist for lung function testing in this age group. Tidal breathing techniques such as oscillometry allow for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases that originate early in life, thus providing the opportunity to develop timely prevention and treatment strategies.
