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 www.abc.net.au/news/health/...

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!
