Children with East Asian-Born Parents Have an Increased Risk of Allergy but May Not Have More Asthma in Early ChildhoodChildren of East Asian ancestry born in Australia have a higher burden of most allergic diseases in the first 6 years of life, whereas asthma may follow a different pattern
Research
Fragranced consumer products: effects on asthmatic AustraliansMost asthmatics would prefer workplaces, healthcare facilities, and environments that are fragrance-free, which could help reduce adverse effects
Research
Persistent activation of interlinked type 2 airway epithelial gene networks in sputum-derived cells from aeroallergen-sensitized symptomatic asthmaticsOur findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms operative at baseline in the airway mucosa in atopic asthmatic with natural aeroallergen exposure
Research
Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marksWe identified new asthma loci, found new associations at loci implicated in the comorbidity of asthma plus hay fever and confirmed nine known loci.

After asthma: Redefining airways diseasesIdentify entrenched areas of asthma management and treatment in which progress has stalled and to challenge current principles
Research
Association between respiratory syncytial viral disease and the subsequent risk of the first episode of severe asthma in different subgroups of high-risk Australian children: a whole-of-population-based cohort studyTo determine the contribution of RSV to the subsequent development of severe asthma in different subgroups of children at risk of severe RSV disease.
Research
Epigenome-wide analysis links SMAD3 methylation at birth to asthma in children of asthmatic mothersWe sought to assess whether the trajectory to asthma begins already at birth and whether epigenetic mechanisms, contribute to asthma inception.

High fractional exhaled nitric oxide and sputum eosinophils are associated with an increased risk of future virus-induced exacerbations: A prospective cohort study.High fractional exhaled nitric oxide and sputum eosinophils are associated with an increased risk of future virus-induced exacerbations.

Mannitol challenge testing for asthma in a community cohort of young adultsWe aimed to quantify the diagnostic utility of mannitol challenge testing for asthma in a community cohort and a symptomatic wheezing subset of this cohort.
