The role of extracellular vesicles in lung epithelial cell communication in health and disease
It is estimated that more than 1 bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. Read more
The role of extracellular vesicles in pulmonary epithelium
More than 1bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. The respiratory disorders with the most significant impact on public health are asthma, COPD, lung cancer and lung infections1. Read more

Interstitial Lung Disease: Health economics
Interstitial Lung Disease. Health economics. Creating evidence to support health economic evaluation of interventions and treatments for interstitial lung disease in Australia. Read more
Advanced magnetic resonance imaging methods for imaging the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and specifically functional MRI using hyperpolarised xenon-129 (129Xe-MRI), is a powerful imaging technique that provides detailed and sensitive information about lung diseases such as Cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
Understanding the role of the immune system in progression of fibrosis
The pathogenic mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is still not well understood. Initially believed to be a side effect of dysregulated inflammatory processes as the main driver, data now appears not to support this. Read more
Determining how immune responses are regulated in the lung and gut by the local environment
The immune system must respond quickly to infection but must also be tightly regulated so it ignores harmless substances and our own tissues. Read more
Realistic simulation of aerosolised drug deposition in the lungs of people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) based on pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging
We are looking for an exceptional student to join this exciting and innovative multi-centre interdisciplinary project funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Read more
Establishing an effective 3D cell culture model for the study of infectious respiratory diseases
Infectious respiratory diseases pose serious threats to human and animal health due to their high mortality and morbidity rates. Lung structure and composition varies between species. Read more
Investigation into the in-vitro lung deposition of liposomal formulations of the dual fixed-dose combination inhaler
Research Group:
Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are diseases associated with the airflow in the lungs (WHO, 2013). Inhalation is the most effective route of administration for treating asthma and COPD (Labiris and Dolovich, 2003). Read more
Manipulating the Gut Lung Axis to treat experimental Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Manipulating the Gut Lung Axis to treat experimental Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. This project will investigate maximally effective microbiome and dietary interventions in experimental and human COPD to treat clinical trial human patients. Read more
Clinical: Gastroesophageal reflux in respiratory disease: pathogenic role and improved management
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents, such as food and acid pass into the gullet/oesophagus causing heartburn. GERD is very common in patients with lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
Basal stem cells in the lung and their recognition of dying cells
Stem cell division and differentiation is critical for barrier repair following inflammation, but the initial trigger for this process is unknown. Read more
Environmental control of dendritic cell activation and function during pulmonary type 2 inflammation
Type 2 inflammation is a defining feature of infection with parasitic worms (helminths), as well as being responsible for widespread suffering in allergies. Read more
Modelling the respiratory microbiome in chronic lung disease and healthy ageing
The Respiratory Microbiome Group seeks to understand the interactions between complex communities of bacteria, fungi and viruses with the human respiratory tract in both disease (acute infections and chronic lung disease) and in health or healthy ageing. Read more
Real world evidence in the study of different subtypes of breast, lung, and prostate cancers: phenotyping, synthetic arm trials, and target trial emulation (NDORMS 2024/9)
Precision medicine in oncology is changing the prognosis of numerous cancers. However, the identification of very specific and rare cancer subtypes is leading to challenges in the recruitment of enough subjects for randomised controlled trials. Read more
