My name is Sally Block, the MJA’s news and online editor.
“The MJA acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we live and work across Australia. This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present.”
This week the MJA has published a supplement called Cure asthma – it’s a collaboration between keen Australian stakeholders, and co-ordinated by The University of Melbourne and Asthma Australia.
As the name states, the goal is to not just treat asthma, but to find a cure.
To discuss this I am joined by Professor Gary Anderson who is a pharmacologist and immunologist and Director of the Lung Health Research Centre at the University of Melbourne.
