Examining the early origins of asthma and chronic respiratory disease [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Rachel Foong (Principal investigator)

Brief description Asthma is the most common chronic lung disease of childhood. Birth cohort studies show that early life environmental stressors may increase asthma risk. This study will examine the impact of multiple early-life stressors using a novel ‘exposome’ model in international birth cohort studies, to identify the most significant factors. This will allow for interventions in a planned Australian birth cohort study, leading to improved health for Australians.
