Association of obesity and metabolic biomarkers with asthma, COPD and lung function both in children and adult population of Melbourne and Tasmania [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Asthma and COPD are hard to diagnose in early stages, therefore, adversely affect individuals and communities. The main aim of my Ph.D research is to understand the actual association of the lifetime BMI trajectories and asthma and COPD. Also, will assess the association of biomarkers as mediators. These investigations will give an in-depth understanding of the natural course and interaction of these risk factors and diseases, which results in prevention and management of the disease in future.
