Currently I have 3 areas of interest, all under the umbrella of asthma research. Firstly I am interested in the airway and airway epithelium. I have two projects; one examining the role of macrolide antibiotics on the airway epithelium, using epithelial cells cultured from well phenotyped asthma patients and a second looking at distal airway inflammation using a small bronchial brush technique.
Continuing research from my thesis, I am evaluating the role of exhaled nitric oxide in treatment decisions in asthma care and have a funded study in this area.
Lastly I am investigating the role of the small airways in asthma using hyperpolarized xenon MRI imaging in animal models.
I am interested in developing the non-invasive assessment of airways disease.
