Rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbations and risk populationsAsthma exacerbations are heterogeneous conditions that involve the complex interplay between environmental exposures and innate and adaptive immune function

Hierarchy and molecular properties of house dust mite allergensThe allergenic load of house dust mite allergy is largely constituted by a few proteins with a hierarchical pattern of allergenicity.

Genome-wide association analysis identifies 11 risk variants associated with the asthma with hay fever phenotypePrevious analyses of family data from the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study provide evidence that this phenotype has a stronger genetic cause than asthma...

Prenatal adverse life events increase the risk for atopic diseases in children, which is enhanced in the absence of a maternal atopic predispositionThere is evidence to suggest an association between prenatal maternal stress and the development of asthma or other atopic diseases in offspring.

Toll-like receptor 2 ligands inhibit Th2 responses to mite allergenThere is intense interest in the interaction between microbial compounds and allergy.

Studies on the immunological mechanisms underlying progression versus resolution of asthma between adolescence and adulthoodThis project seeks new information on asthma disease mechanisms, to help propel development of new and better anti-asthma drugs.

Epigenetic changes underpinning allergen sensitization: a twin-based studyWe are studying immune cells from identical twins of which one suffers and one does not suffer from allergic disease to identify specific mechanisms that may pl
