Tobias Kollmann

Tobias Kollmann is an Adjunct Professor at the UWA Medical School and affiliated with the UWA Centre for Child Health Research (linked to The Kids Research Institute Australia). His research focuses on immunology, infectious diseases, neonatal immunity, and vaccine efficacy, particularly exploring mechanisms of BCG vaccination, epigenetic influences on immune development, and biomarker discovery in pediatric health.

• Key affiliations: UWA Medical School, UWA Centre for Child Health Research
• Research emphasizes neonatal immune system development, infectious disease pathways, and translational vaccine studies

Recent work investigates BCG's systemic dissemination effects, tick bite biomarkers, and epigenetic regulation of blood cell populations in newborns. He leads/co-leads four major grants focusing on pediatric infectious diseases, maternal immunization impacts, and phage therapy for Pseudomonas infections.

• Projects include:
• TERMINATE-TRIALS: Bacteriophage therapy for pulmonary Pseudomonas
• Maternal immunization mechanisms and neonatal immune outcomes
• Neonatal vaccine biomarker identification
