Honorary Research Associate

News & Events

The Kids researchers have been awarded over $3.4 million for a new trial to pioneer improved ways for managing cystic fibrosis (‘CF’).

News & Events

When Ingrid Laing was born, the outlook for kids with cystic fibrosis was bleak. Her parents were told she might make it to 20 if she was lucky.

News & Events

That's why Melissa has signed up her four year old healthy son Odin for a study at Perth's The Kids Research Institute Australia that will help kids with cystic fibrosis.

News & Events

Professor Stephen Stick has been awarded the prestigious Richard C. Talamo Distinguished Clinical Achievement Award from the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

COMBAT CF is one of two long-standing international trials which have resulted in new early intervention options helping to reduce progressive lung damage in kids living with CF.

Research

There is no data exclusively on the relationship between health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) and lung disease severity in early school-aged children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Using data from the Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) we assessed the relationships between HRQOL, lung function and structure.

Research

This review reports on methods used to evaluate airway clearance techniques (ACT) in adults with CF and examined data for evidence of any effect. Sixty-eight studies described ACT in adequate detail and were included in this review.

Research

The lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection

Research

De novo S. aureus acquisition at age 3 is associated with later bronchiectasis and FEF25-75 in children with CF
