Waxing and waning of asthma during transition from the teens to adulthood: identification of immunophenotypic markers to predict disease trajectory and guide development of treatment strategies to prevent progression to chronicity [ 2015 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Patrick Holt (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Anthony Bosco ,  Dr Elysia Hollams

Brief description The project will seek to identify biomarkers in teenage/young adult asthmatics that can distinguish between those who are "growing out" of the disease, versus those who are progressing towards chronic severe asthma. This knowledge will inform the development of more effective treatment programs for this age group.
