- University: The University of Western Australia
- School: UWA Medical School
- Academic Rank: Research Fellow
Looi’s research explores the role of airway epithelial cells in respiratory conditions like asthma and wheezing, with a specific emphasis on viral infections (e.g., rhinovirus), tight junctions, and signaling pathways such as Notch. His work contributes to advancements in pediatric respiratory health.
Recent publications highlight investigations into rhinovirus infection mechanisms, ACE2 expression dynamics in asthma, and computational modeling of airway epithelium. Collaborative projects include drug delivery methods (ADVANCE) and pediatric respiratory disease pathogenesis.
Looi collaborates with institutions like the Department of Health (Western Australia) and The University of Western Australia. Active projects include Administering Diferuloylmethane-2 Via Aerosol Nebulization to Compromised Epithelium (2024–2027) and foundational studies on pediatric airway epithelium (2012).
