Listed are the Telethon Kids Institute research teams involved in our Respiratory Health Program. This program sits under the Chronic and Severe Diseases research theme.
The Airway Epithelial Research Team is investigating the role of the epithelium in the development of airway diseases including asthma, cystic fibrosis and lung transplant rejection.
Asthma Cystic Fibrosis Airway Epithelial ResearchThe Children's Lung Health Team investigates lung growth and development through infancy, childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, in health and in chronic lung disease, and the impact of preterm birth on lung health outcomes.
Asthma Cystic Fibrosis Children's Lung HealthThe P4 Respiratory Health for Kids Team is a multi-disciplinary group with skills in clinical medicine, physiology, psychology, and in cellular and molecular biology, that are committed to improving the lives of children with respiratory diseases and their families.
P4 Respiratory Health for KidsThe 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.
Asthma Respiratory Environmental HealthThe Children’s Respiratory Science group’s research has an emphasis on mechanisms of respiratory health in children including those that predict and underpin acute viral respiratory infections in children.
Children’s Respiratory ScienceOur team aims to optimise lung health early in life to ensure the best possible health outcomes later in life.
