The Lung & Allergy Research Centre (LARC) is focused on undertaking scientific research to understand the pathogenesis of asthma and other chronic pulmonary diseases, with particular interests in allergic inflammation and host defence against respiratory viral infections.
Our Vision
To understand how the immune system functions in health and disease in order to improve outcomes for people with asthma, allergies and chronic lung diseases.
Collaborations
Lung and Allergy Research Centre is a participating partner with The Centre of Excellence in Severe Asthma, which brings together researchers from across Australia. Funded by the NHMRC, we are developing innovative approaches to understand why severe asthma occurs, developing tools and programmes to improve disease management and improving access to new therapies.
