Brief description Asthma and allergic diseases cost Australia in excess of 7.8 billion per year. We are yet to identify any substantially effective preventative strategies. The applicant is a highly successful early stage clinician-researcher based in regional Victoria. This collaborative project will involve extending two existing NHMRC projects, in addition to establishing a new unselected Australian birth cohort, in to investigate the early life gene-environment determinants of asthma and allergic disease.
