Australian Aboriginal children with otitis media have reduced antibody titers to specific nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae vaccine antigens

decreased serum IgG responses to NTHi outer membrane proteins may contribute to the development of chronic and severe OM in Australian Aboriginal children

Exercising Safely with Type 1 Diabetes – Development of Clinical Guidelines

Our research focuses on what are the best ways for patients with Type 1 Diabetes to exercise safely. We aim to develop clinical guidelines that provide improved advice for patients and educate patients on how to prevent hypos during and after exercise.

Panel 4: Recent advances in understanding the natural history of the otitis media microbiome and its response to environmental pressures

Advances in understanding bacterial dynamics in the upper airway microbiome are driving development of microbiota-modifying therapies to prevent or treat disease

Use of Hybrid Closed Loop therapy in hypoglycaemia awareness

This study will tell us if the use of a hybrid closed loop system can improve awareness of hypoglycaemia.

The Contribution of Geogenic Particulate Matter to Lung Disease in Indigenous Children

National Hybrid Closed-Loop Outpatient Trial

The national Hybrid Closed-Loop Outpatient Trial will test the use of an automated insulin delivery system to see if it is better at optimising blood glucose levels than standard therapy.

Western Australian DNA and Longitudinal Serum Bank for Weight Regulation

This resource will allow researchers to carry out studies which will look at the genetic causes of excessive weight gain and identify biomarkers

Combination of clinical symptoms and blood biomarkers can improve discrimination between bacterial or viral community-acquired pneumonia in children

Combining elevated CRP with the presence or absence of clinical signs/ symptoms differentiates definite bacterial from presumed viral pneumonia better than CRP alone
