The Airway Physiology and Imaging Group’s research directly improves patient care by giving doctors better ways to understand, assess and treat lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis and the respiratory effects of bone‑marrow transplantation. They develop practical tools—like at‑home lung‑function tests—that help monitor patients with asthma and COPD and predict impending flare‑ups. By collaborating with researchers worldwide and partnering with several Sydney hospitals, they help translate scientific insights into real‑world clinical practice, ultimately leading to more precise and effective treatment for patients with respiratory conditions.
