WA Epithelial Research Program for Childhood Respiratory DiseasesOnce thought to be a simple barrier to the external environment, epithelial cells are involved in many repair and inflammatory processes that occur in childhood airway diseases.
Research
Vulnerable from the first breath - epithelial dysfunction and respiratory outcomes in childrenWe have been studying the importance of the epithelial cells lining the airways in the nose and lungs.
Research
Epithelial Drivers of Neutrophil Plasticity in Early Cystic Fibrosis Lung DiseaseHallmarks of cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease include bronchiectasis, airway inflammation by infiltrating polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and recurring infection.
Research
Developing a novel therapeutic pipeline for antibiotic resistant bacterial lung infection in children: investigating and assessing the potential phage therapyAntimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis, which has accelerated due to the overuse of antibiotics.
Research
Defective cell migration as a mechanism of dysregulated asthmatic airway repairThe findings from this study show that in children with asthma this protective barrier is different from children without asthma.
