Investigating self-efficacy, disease knowledge and adherence to treatment in adolescents with cystic fibrosisadolescents with cystic fibrosis are often sub-optimal with adherence to prescribed treatement. We aim to investigate multiple factors with patient and parents
Research
Bacillus licheniformis in geogenic dust induces inflammation in respiratory epitheliumWe have previously demonstrated that mice exposed to geogenic dust PM10 experienced an exacerbation of inflammatory responses to influenza A virus.
Research
Taking a prebiotic approach to early immunomodulation for allergy preventionIn this review we examine maternal and infant dietary sources of prebiotics with a particular focus on non-digestible oligosaccharides, which undergo SCFA.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Genetic Risk Factors for Rheumatic Heart Disease in Aboriginal Australians Provides Support for Pathogenic Molecular MimicryRheumatic heart disease (RHD) after group A streptococcus (GAS) infections is heritable and prevalent in Indigenous populations. Molecular mimicry between human and GAS proteins triggers proinflammatory cardiac valve-reactive T cells.
