Funded Activity Summary

Asthma affects 10-15% of Australian. Repeated respiratory viral infections increase the risk of developing asthma, and are also the principal cause of asthma attacks. Asthmatics may be more susceptible to respiratory viral infections due to a defect in the innate antiviral response to infection. Here we aim to identify defects in the antiviral response of children who are at risk of developing asthma, and understand how they occur so that future therapies may be developed.
