Rising carbon dioxide levels are being detected within the human body, with new research warning a key blood marker for the gas could near its healthy limit within decades if current trends continue.
Dr Renee Ng, a microbiologist specialising in bacteriophage therapy – an alternative to antibiotics to fight antimicrobial resistance – will travel to the world’s premier conference on viruses, bringing new ideas, connections and expertise back to Perth.
Five The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers and a popular Institute-led science festival for kids have been named as finalists in the 2024 Premier’s Science Awards.
The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre offers a broad range of outpatient and portable tests for those affected by chronic respiratory conditions.
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.
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.
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
Neuromuscular disorders include many rare conditions, such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy, that adversely impact respiratory health.
The lungs represent a key interface between the body and the environment.
