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
Palliative care needs of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Lung Cancer in North Lancashire and South Cumbria
This exciting funded PhD project, supervised by experienced clinical academics is based at Lancaster University and will research health services in North Lancashire and South Cumbria. Read more
Antifungal potency of the airway epithelium in health and disease
Human lungs must balance elimination of a myriad of toxic or pathogenic particles inhaled daily with maintenance of tissue homeostasis to avoid lung disease and ultimately respiratory failure. Read more
Macrophage-bacteria interactions in Cystic Fibrosis: The Cellular microbiology of the novel opportunistic bacterium achromobacter species
Chronic infection and persistent inflammation in people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF) lead to progressive lung damage. Read more
Arts in health in the self-management of chronic respiratory disease
Arts in Health participation is recognised by the World Health Organisation as being beneficial to holistic health outcomes. Read more
Understanding disease mechanisms in autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a spectrum of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by inflammation of muscle tissue (myositis), which leads to muscle weakness and fatigue, and heterogeneous systemic organ involvement. 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
Multisystem functional characterisation of the ciliopathy disease candidate gene DNAAF9 (aka Shulin)
Motile cilia are vital cellular structures which move in a whip-like manner to propel cells (ex. Sperm cells) or move fluids over tissue surfaces (ex. Read more
Mechanistic investigation of cardiac complications of COVID-19
Rationale. On May 4, 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has escalated to 3.5 million cases worldwide, including 250,000 deaths. Read more
Development of novel small molecule inhibitors of Gremlin1, a pathogenic driver of diabetic kidney disease
Gremlin1 is a secreted protein antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) that regulated developmental processes such as limb and kidney formation. 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
PhD Studentship in Computational airways simulations and multi-modal analyses in respiratory disease
Applications are invited from candidates with a Master’s degree (Merit and above) in applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, or systems biology for a 3-year PhD. Read more
Investigation of novel protease-antiprotease imbalances associated with chronic airways disease.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive airways diseases associated with cycles of infection and inflammation, lung tissue destruction and pulmonary decline. 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
Determining how immune responses are regulated at mucosal surfaces
The immune system must be primed to quickly respond to infection, but must also be tightly regulated so it ignores harmless substances and our own tissues. Read more
