This study aimed to investigate the effects of different macro-environments on asthma genotype-phenotype associations in 2 geographically separated populations

Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.

One of the major challenges in health studies with a spatial dimension is to produce valid and meaningful geographical representations of risk.

The aims of this study were to investigate kinin receptor expression on eosinophils of asthmatic and healthy subjects

In this study, we examined the effects of maternal smoking as a major adverse exposure in early life, on mucosal immune function and allergen sensitization...

There is intense interest in the interaction between microbial compounds and allergy.

The Airway Epithelial Research Team is investigating the role of the epithelium in the development of airway diseases including asthma, cystic fibrosis and lung transplant rejection.

Asthma remission has emerged as a potential therapeutic goal. However, definitions of remission have primarily focused on adult populations, with limited consensus on how remission should be defined in children.

Potentially due to this perception, they are used by people with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, who otherwise would not smoke. Despite this, there are few studies exploring the health effects of e-cigarette use on pre-existing asthma.
