Louisa鈥檚 key area of research is on the early life factors which predict respiratory health and particularly asthma, throughout childhood and into early adulthood. Her PhD thesis on this topic will be completed in 2017 and she has already published several papers from her thesis.

She is also involved in a number of research trials in cystic fibrosis, looking at novel treatments as well as outcome measures for young children with CF.

Louisa is also involved in paediatric bronchiectasis research in Australia and runs a specialised bronchiectasis clinic at Sydney Children鈥檚 Hospital.
