Manipulating the maternal and infant microbiome to prevent immune related disease

作为一名普通儿科医生，我的研究旨在减轻我在医院和社区管理的常见和重要疾病的负担，包括过敏和哮喘。职业发展奖学金将使我能够继续为澳大利亚地区卓越的临床服务做出贡献，同时领导我们由NHMRC资助的基于种群的研究项目，了解共生细菌在预防免疫相关疾病中的作用。

As a general paediatrician, my research has been designed to reduce the burden of common and important conditions that I manage in our hospital and community, including allergy and asthma. A Career Development Fellowship will enable me to continue to contribute to the excellence of clinical services in regional Australia, and at the same time lead our NHMRC funded program of population based research into the role of commensal bacteria in the prevention of immune related disease.
