Anya Jones

Anya Jones is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the UWA Medical School and the UWA Centre for Child Health Research, which is affiliated with The Kids Research Institute Australia at The University of Western Australia. Her research focuses on immunology and respiratory diseases in children, with particular expertise in asthma, allergy, and immune responses.

Dr. Jones's research interests span several key areas in pediatric immunology:

• Immunology and Microbiology, with focus on asthma (100% research fingerprint match)
• Airway biology and disease (60% research fingerprint match)
• Interferon Type I responses in childhood respiratory diseases (55% match)
• Immunotherapy approaches (50% match)
• Mechanisms of upregulation in immune responses (46% match)
• Allergen responses and atopy (42% and 39% matches respectively)

Her recent publication record demonstrates a strong focus on understanding immune mechanisms in childhood asthma and respiratory diseases. The research shows particular attention to plasmacytoid dendritic cells, interferon responses, and biomarkers during asthma exacerbations. Dr. Jones also has significant work in childhood cancer immunology, particularly regarding medulloblastoma and immune cell infiltration in brain tumors.

Dr. Jones has published 27 research outputs including 22 articles, 3 abstracts, 1 editorial, and 1 doctoral thesis, with an h-index of 14 and 528 citations. Her work contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the areas of good health and well-being.
