Investigating the impact of ethnicity on asthma: determining risk factors, modifiers, clinical phenotypes, and differential response to treatment. [ 1/1/2021 - 10/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Asthma is a common disease in Australia with significant burden on both patients and the public healthcare system. Patients from ethnic minorities have disproportionately worse outcomes and current treatment guidelines are based on research among Caucasian-based populations. My PhD will describe differences in clinical characteristics, outcomes and response to treatment between ethnic groups. The overall aim of my PhD is to develop highly effective asthma treatment for ethnic minorities.
