Anne O'Donnell

Anne O'Donnell serves as a Clinical Senior Lecturer at The University of Western Australia Medical School within the Paediatrics Department. Her clinical and research activities focus on pediatric respiratory conditions with specialization in sleep disorders and immunological aspects of childhood diseases.

Her primary research interests span Atopy, Polysomnography, Genetic Variation, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. O'Donnell's work integrates clinical pediatrics with molecular immunology, particularly examining CD14 biomarkers and their relationship to allergic conditions from childhood through early adulthood. Her research methodology combines longitudinal cohort analysis with advanced diagnostic techniques in sleep medicine.

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on evidence-based approaches to pediatric airway management, particularly regarding Pierre Robin Sequence and obstructive sleep apnea diagnostics. Her work shows consistent progression from genetic and immunological investigations (2002-2004) toward clinical applications and standardized treatment protocols (2022-2025).

O'Donnell's research has been referenced in patent literature and shows significant social media engagement among medical professionals, with particular traction on X (Twitter) and Mendeley readership across multiple publications.

Her clinical work involves direct patient care within pediatric sleep medicine, evidenced by publications on polysomnography validation studies and systematic reviews of airway obstruction management. The research demonstrates collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across respiratory medicine, immunology, and pediatric surgery specialties.
