BANK CF: The Respiratory Centre BIOBANKThe Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) program has grown from an early surveillance program initiated in Perth in 1999, which performed bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to evaluate pulmonary infection and inflammation, as well as infant lung function testing.

End-inspiratory molar mass step correction for analysis of infant multiple breath washout testsWe aimed to evaluate the use of the EIMM-step method in a broad range of infants.
Research
The ventilatory response to hypoxia is blunted in some preterm infants during the second year of lifePreterm birth and subsequent neonatal ventilatory treatment disrupts development of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). An attenuated HVR has been identified in preterm neonates, however it is unknown whether the attenuation persists into the second year of life.

In utero and early-life nitrate in drinking water impacts lung function of weanling ratsConsumption of nitrate in drinking water has previously been associated with a range of adverse health effects, including methemoglobinemia and potentially cancer. In animal models, it has been shown to impact respiratory structure and function, however, there is a paucity of data of the effects of in utero exposure on the respiratory health of offspring.
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
