Rate My Professor Siobhain Brennan

Brennan has authored numerous influential publications. Notable works include 'Lung disease at diagnosis in infants with cystic fibrosis detected by newborn screening' (JAMA, 2009, with Peter D. Sly et al.), revealing bronchiectasis and other abnormalities at initial diagnosis; 'Infection, inflammation, and lung function decline in infants with cystic fibrosis' (American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2011), linking early pathogens and inflammation to rapid decline; 'Progression of lung disease in preschool patients with cystic fibrosis' (The Journal of Pediatrics, 2011); 'Bronchiectasis in an asymptomatic infant with cystic fibrosis diagnosed following newborn screening' (Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2009); 'Changing Prevalence of Lower Airway Infections in Young Children with Cystic Fibrosis' (American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019); and 'Antenatal Endotoxin and Glucocorticoid Effects on Lung Development in Preterm Lambs' (Pediatric Research, 2000). Her research has garnered over 1,500 citations and secured competitive funding, such as Australian Respiratory Council grants for investigating oxidative stress markers in young CF patients (2007, with Anthony J. Kettle) and NHMRC Project Grants (2008). These efforts have advanced early detection, intervention strategies, and therapeutic approaches in paediatric CF management. Transitioning from research, Brennan completed her medical training at the University of Western Australia in 2012 and currently serves as a General Practitioner at Glen Forrest Medical Centre, integrating her expertise into clinical practice.
