Harnessing Regenerative Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease

  Research Group: Nanomedicine and biotherapeutics
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic airways disease caused by mutations in a cAMP-dependent chloride channel called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). In the lungs, defective ion channel activity and mucus obstruction results in chronic cycles of infection and inflammation, with tissue damage leading to progressive lung function decline and premature death.

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more

Marine Mammals as Sentinels for Humans - Exposure to dietary environmental pollutants & population health (OneHealth) 2 positions (GREECE & UK)

Persistent bioavailable pollutants (PBTs) such as PFAS, organochlorines, flame retardants and pesticides are recalcitrant - they cannot be broken down in the environment or biologically by detoxification processes and are fat-loving (lipophilic). Read more
