Artificial Intelligence

The Artificial Intelligence team at the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is dedicated to delivering AI solutions for major challenges in respiratory healthcare and research.

Asthma

Respiratory disease is a global issue and international networks are critical to informing best-practice approaches to the clinical care and management of childhood respiratory health.

Aboriginal Respiratory Health

Respiratory illness accounts for 12% of the age-standardised gap in mortality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Current research

Phage WA have a number of projects underway and these cover a broad range of phage research areas.

START Phage WA

START Phage WA was formed to pave the way towards treating AMR infections with phage therapy in Western Australia.

Phage therapy for compassionate use

"Compassionate Use" treatments are novel treatments not widely available to everyone, but ones that holds great promise for potentially becoming a widely used treatment in the future.

Helpful phage links

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

Working with the community

Community involvement plays an integral role in guiding our research - find out how.

Association between early respiratory viral infections and structural lung disease in infants with cystic fibrosis

Infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop structural lung disease early in life, and viral infections are associated with progressive lung disease. We hypothesized that the presence of respiratory viruses would be associated with structural lung disease on computed tomography (CT) of the chest in infants with CF.

Role of Tris-CaEDTA as an adjuvant with nebulised tobramycin in cystic fibrosis patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections: A randomised controlled trial

We tested if disrupting iron utilisation by P. aeruginosa by adding the Tris-buffered chelating agent CaEDTA to nebulised tobramycin would enhance bacterial clearance and improve lung function in CF patients.
