25.01.2022 The weekend is almost here and the State Government is asking all of us to do our bit in stopping the bugs. Here are some tips to help:

23.01.2022 The Melbourne Cup Luncheon is raising vital funds for cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Book before 9 October and received 10% discount.

22.01.2022 Today is World Asthma Day and this year we ask if you can all take a minute, breathe deeply and hold your breath and remember all those who have suffered from the coronavirus. All our brave healthcare professionals putting their lives on the line to save others. And to all the researchers who are tirelessly trying to find a vaccine to save lives in the future.... Thank you. If youre concerned call the national coronavirus helpline on 1800 020 080. It operates 24 hours a day seven days a week. #worldasthmaday #covid19 #asthma #respiratory #health #medicalresearch #lungs #lunghealth #giveabreath

21.01.2022 Happy Valentines Day from all of us here at the Institute for Respiratory Health #respiratory #lungs #health #medical #research #science

21.01.2022 The Institute for Respiratory Health would like to express their condolences to the family of Kanti Bhoola, who passed away recently. Kanti (pictured right) joined us in 2010 as a senior scientist, as his daughter had taken up residence in Alice Springs. During his eight years, he enthused the Institute with his passion for kinin research. His co-authors included Professor Philip Thompson and Drs Svetlana Baltic, Neil Misso and Mirja Fogel-Petrovic. He was a popular member of the Institute and possessed a quirky sense of humour whilst retaining an unrelenting passion for science. #respiratory #science #health #medical #asthma #lungcancer

20.01.2022 We wish everyone a safe and happy Easter break, knowing we have all worked really hard to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Please stay safe. #stopthespread #keephealthy #socialdistancing #coronavirus #covid19

20.01.2022 Have you got a story to share with us? Carol recently shared her story with us: Carol loved working as a nurse, but when she was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) she had to retire early. Since then, she’s committed to helping improve the lives of people with lung conditions. She hopes her knowledge and experience will help make a difference in lung health research. We'd love to hear from you, please message us directly if you're interested #shareyourstory #lungdisease
