Research
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.
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
Research
The effects of acamprosate on maternal and neonatal outcomes in a mouse model of alcohol use disordersDespite the teratogenic effects of alcohol, little is known about the safety of pharmacotherapies such as acamprosate for the treatment of alcohol use disorders in pregnancy. The aims of this study were to investigate, in a mouse model, the effects of maternally administered acamprosate on maternal and neonatal health, offspring neurodevelopment and behaviour, as well as examine whether acamprosate reduces the neurological harm associated with alcohol consumption in pregnancy.

Developing a smartphone application to support social connectedness and wellbeing in young people with cystic fibrosisThis study developed and tested a highly usable, and moderately acceptable, smartphone app to improve the psychosocial health of young people living with CF
The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is made up of multi-disciplinary teams that are committed to improving the lives of children and their families living with respiratory disease.
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.
COMBAT CF is one of two long-standing international trials which have resulted in new early intervention options helping to reduce progressive lung damage in kids living with CF.
The Respiratory Environmental Health team conducts research in early life determinants of lung growth and development, respiratory environmental health, and mechanisms of airway dysfunction in asthma and other respiratory disease.

Is forced oscillation technique the next respiratory function test of choice in childhood asthmaWhile spirometry contributes to asthma diagnosis and management in older children, it has a limited role in younger children whom are unable to perform FOM.
