So excited to be leading this project with an amazing team to improve the lives of those with prematurity associated lung disease

Learning, networking and brainstorming potential trial designs with our clinical trials manager (Claire) at the Australian Clinical Trials Alliance meeting #ACTA2023

I’m really proud of this piece- out for #WorldPrematurityDay2023 . Amazing to bring this wonderful team of leaders and emerging leaders together, collaborating for better respiratory outcomes across the lifespan for those born preterm.

Great to share the stage with so many people passionate about preterm lung health today!

We propose the existence of clinical phenotypes of prematurity-associated lung disease, which can be described using a multidimensional “wheel-and-spoke” model. This includes phenotype profiles of a number of traits (spokes) which can be expanded or discarded with new evidence.

'Unravelling the respiratory health path across the lifespan for those born too soon'.

Did you see the 7NEWS Perth story about a study led by Shannon Simpson which found a common asthma drug is effective for some very #premature babies who go on to suffer from lung complications? Thanks to 10yo Keelan for sharing his story 👉 bit.ly/3K6YCsv Telethon Kids Institute

Great article on misogyny in academia

To our male colleagues, please read this - many times I don’t think we realise the impact of comments

Many ideas to improve this issue too
