Equipment available – portable/community based

Portable equipment is available to enable bedside and community-led research in rural and remote communities, including Indigenous communities where children are disproportionately affected by chronic respiratory conditions.

Community involvement

One way the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre provides the opportunity for consumers and community members to contribute to our research is through participation in one of our eight community reference groups.

Research Track Record

The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.

Rare Diseases

Neuromuscular disorders include many rare conditions, such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy, that adversely impact respiratory health.

Environmental Exposures

The lungs represent a key interface between the body and the environment.

Healthy Lungs & Immune Development

Focusing on the developmental trajectories of respiratory health includes developing strategies to improve and support immune system function and development over the life course.

Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity

Each year, 11% (15 million) of the world’s babies are delivered before 37 weeks’ gestation.
