Really pleased to see our latest research featured on ABC today 🎉. Our study mapped immune cells in the lungs of young children with CF and found inflammatory pathways linked to lung damage are present in early life, with some persisting despite breakthrough therapies

Early lung damage in kids with CF linked with immune cell changes
Australian researchers have mapped how lung damage may begin early in life for children with cystic fibrosis, providing new insights that may help reshape future care.

Excited to take a quick break from maternity leave to speak at the Melbourne Immunotherapy Network Symposium #MIN2025. I'll be talking all about our work using immune profiling to improve outcomes for children with chronic lung disease. Abstracts and early bird registration open now!

Our second #earlyAIR paper is now published in Mucosal Immunology! We provide open-access data on 65 cytokines in #airways and #blood of children, show how age shapes immunity, and created core reference panels that can clinically evaluate a range of #inflammatory mediators.

Pleased to share that our #earlyAIR cross-tissue, age-specific, #flowcytometry reference of immune cells from five tissues of the pediatric #airway is now published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
