Congratulations to Associate Professor Asha Bowen, who has been awarded the 2022 Frank Fenner Award for Advanced Research in Infectious Diseases.
Prof Jonathan Carapetis has been elected as a new Fellow of the prestigious Australian Academy of Science in recognition of his pioneering, paradigm-shifting expertise in infectious diseases.
Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia will lead a world first trial to test the effectiveness of the drug interferon in stopping outbreaks of COVID-19 by reducing the infectiousness of people who contract the virus.
The aim of this study was to explore associations between severe respiratory infections and atopy in early childhood with persisting wheeze and asthma.
Information is accumulating which implicates airway inflammation resulting from respiratory viral infections, acting against a background of atopy.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between nasopharyngeal pneumococcal colonization in early life and the development of T cell responses.
The functionality and effects of TLR7 and TLR8 polymorphisms on cellular and antibody responses was investigated after the first measles vaccine dose.
Unambiguous identification of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is not possible by conventional microbiology. Molecular characterisation of...
Vaccines including conserved antigens from Streptococcus pneumoniae & nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae have the potential to reduce of otitis media.
Here we employ whole blood assays to evaluate human cytokine responses to 11 of these antigens, in comparison to known defined and crude antigen preparations.
