MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Galectin-3 signalling in trabecular meshwork biology: 3D and organ-culture models toward antifibrotic outflow therapy to treat Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a common eye disease and a leading cause of irreversible sight loss. It becomes more common with age, and raised intraocular pressure, caused by increased resistance in the trabecular meshwork, is the only factor that can currently be treated. Read more

(MRC NW-DMS) Mechanistic and translational understanding of woodsmoke-induced lung epithelial injury using advanced in-vitro and in-vivo models

The lung is our first point of contact with air pollution. This mucosal barrier pairs an epithelium that must stay intact with a finely tuned immune-surveillance network, together mounting a balanced response to everything we inhale, harmful or harmless. Read more
