So excited to be leading this project with an amazing team to improve the lives of those with prematurity associated lung disease
A project to uncover treatable traits to improve the lung health of people born #preterm is possible thanks to a $1.99 million #MRFF grant. It’s being led by @WalyanCentre researcher @DrLungSimpson from @telethonkids & @CurtinUni. Congrats all authors 👉 https://t.co/5kZySe8URv

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.
Today is #WorldPrematurityDay See the Personal View from @DrLungSimpson & colleagues for @PELICANetwork on the respiratory health path across the lifespan for survivors of #preterm birth: https://t.co/aZahihUPQy

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.

A new study is helping to identify treatment options to improve the lung function of premature babies, after it was determined survivors of preterm birth were at risk of declining lung health.

Did you see the @7NewsPerth story about a study led by @DrLungSimpson 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 👉 https://t.co/SZdvLQ1B0J

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

Check out our newly published RCT- lots of hard work from my team! 12 weeks of ICS improved lung function in children (6-12 years) born <32w GA only modestly, but ~20% had clinically relevant improvements in FEV1. Good for some kids born very preterm https://t.co/XwFQkPkEai
