Biography
Prof Stephanie Yerkovich is a scientist and biostatistician at the Centre for Children’s Health Research, Brisbane, Australia. Her research themes have included both paediatric and adult respiratory disease, and her current research interests are childhood chronic wet cough, particularly the spectrum between protracted bacterial bronchitis and bronchiectasis. Within the laboratory the team uses multi-omic approaches to investigate paediatric chronic wet cough to better understand the pathobiology of cough, and to identify immune biomarkers and novel gene expression pathways to define pheno-endotypes of childhood cough. She is a CI on multiple national and international, NHMRC- and MRFF-funded, multi-centre, randomised controlled trials and observational studies, for which she provides statistical support. She also chairs the Children’s Bronchiectasis, Education, Advocacy and Research Network (Child-BEAR-Net) international paediatric bronchiectasis registry. The registry currently enrols children with bronchiectasis from over 20 countries to better understand paediatric bronchiectasis.Personal details
