Immune mechanisms in lung fibrosis

See our Spotlight video - https://youtu.be/Dj0uNQgA1Fs

My research group studies how immunological responses impact on mechanisms of lung injury, regeneration and repair. Our projects are divided into mechanistic and translational studies. We have two aims – (1) to understand the contribution of immune cells to chronic progressive lung fibrosis and alveolar regneration (2) to use this knowledge to bring new treatment and improved management to patients with fibrotic lung diseases,focusing on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and fibrotic sarcoidosis. 

We focus on both the lung tissue and blood in human studies, and longitudinal murine studies. In the lungs, we have developed methods (with mathematicians) to map out the spatial organisation of immune cells using mathematical tools, single cell imaging mass cytometry and single cell transcriptomics.
