The Centre had nine staff members attend the 2025 ERS Congress in the Netherlands. The Congress brings together people from respiratory clinical care, science, education and research to share knowledge and generate new ideas to lead the world in respiratory medicine.
Some of the fascinating talks and presentations our researchers gave at the conference included:
Dr Joice Mara Oliveira presented:
- Body composition and muscle function in bronchiectasis
- Low muscle strength is related to worse clinical outcomes over one year in people with bronchiectasis
- Sociodemographic factors as determinants of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adults with asthma
Dr Michael Fricker presented :
- Differential impact of T2 pathway biologics on IL5R-expressing mast cell progenitors in severe asthma
Dr Dennis Thomas presented:

- Patterns of corticosteroid use in acute exacerbations of severe asthma
Dr Gabriela Martins Costa Gomes presented:
- Maternal inhaled corticosteroid use during pregnancy is associated with infant lung function
A/Prof Adam Collison presented:
- Wildfire PM2.5 exposure in early gestation affects lung function in offspring of mothers with asthma
Dr Paola Urroz Guerrero presented:
- Associations between movement behaviours and clinical characteristics in people with asthma
Dr Hayley Lewthwaite presented:
- Postgraduate course – Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in clinical practice, applying the basics to understand respiratory issues: How do you interpret a cardiopulmonary exercise test?
- Skills workshop – Advanced interpretation of cardiopulmonary exercise testing: Laryngoscopy during exercise, live demonstration
