Dr Adam Collison from the HMRI Asthma and Breathing Research Program received a grant for his study into bronchiolitis, a severe viral infection that is the leading cause of babies under 12 months being admitted to the John Hunter Children’s Hospital.

There are currently no treatments to cure this infection. Dr Collison’s work aims to use precision medicine to identify susceptible infants and children and administer preventative treatment before they contract bronchiolitis.
