Asthma

Asthma is a common, long-term respiratory disease. It affects about 2.5 million people in Australia according to the Australian Bureau of statistics.

Asthma research helps us understand how the disease is caused, how it develops and how it can be best treated.

What we are doing now and where our research is taking us

Our Clinical Trials Unit undertakes asthma studies to explore new ways to prevent the disease and improve the quality of everyday life for those diagnosed with asthma.
