Rate My Professor Alice Crawford

Dr. Alice Crawford, MBBS, FRACP, is an Adjunct Clinical Lecturer at Curtin University Medical School in Perth, Western Australia. She serves as a Respiratory Consultant at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and is a researcher and Principal Investigator within the Airways Research Group at the Institute for Respiratory Health. Crawford completed her medical degree at the University of Tasmania and is pursuing a PhD at Curtin University. As an early career clinician-researcher, her career focuses on respiratory medicine, with appointments emphasizing clinical practice and translational research in airways diseases.

Crawford's research specializations include severe asthma, precision medicine for asthma, home spirometry and oscillometry for monitoring chronic respiratory disease, smart inhalers, bronchial thermoplasty outcomes, inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO), dysfunctional breathing, and continuous laryngoscopy during exercise (CLE), particularly in adolescents and athletes. Key publications comprise 'Home spirometry appears accurate and feasible for monitoring chronic respiratory disease' (2024), 'Oscillometry changes reflect clinically meaningful improvement after bronchial thermoplasty for uncontrolled asthma: A case report' (2024), 'Untangling asthma, inducible laryngeal obstruction, and dysfunctional breathing in a competitive sportsperson' (2024), 'Feasibility of ultrasonic home spirometry in monitoring patients with chronic respiratory disease' (2023), 'Continuous Laryngoscopy during Exercise (CLE) is safe, feasible and guides clinical decision making' (2023), 'Opportunities and Challenges in the Implementation of Smart Inhalers to Improve Asthma Outcomes' (2025), and 'The use of precision medicine for asthma' (2026). She has earned the Avant Early Career Research Program microgrant for a systematic review on adolescent dysfunctional breathing interventions and leads the Telethon-funded project 'Untangling asthma, ILO and dysfunctional breathing in adolescents'. With 22 citations, her contributions enhance diagnostic accuracy, remote monitoring, and evidence-based care in respiratory health.
