New funding from the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation will support research into innovative treatments for antibiotic-resistant infections and asthma in children, led by Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre researchers. 

We've compiled a number of helpful links to phage resources in Australia and beyond.

Bronchiectasis is a condition where the lungs become damaged and prone to infections.

The Australian Epithelial Research Program (WAERP) comprises of several parties, including our Chief Investigators, Compliance, Scientific and Clinical Teams, and our Student group.

The Scientific Advisory Committee's (SAC) role is to provide scientific direction and to ensure the objectives of WAERP are reflected in the research performed; SAC forms part of our governance structure.

Research

Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease that impairs quality of life and reduces life expectancy.

Research

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but central airways may also be affected. We hypothesized that airway resistance estimated from computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methodology in infants with CF was higher than controls and that early airway inflammation in infants with CF is associated with airway resistance.

News & Events

Almost one in five children across four remote Kimberley communities has some form of chronic lung disease, according to a new study co-designed and conducted in partnership with Aboriginal communities.
