Brief description Lung transplantation is a critical requirement for people with severe lung diseases. The lung is constantly exposed to bugs and viruses, which reside in the airways, and can be both beneficial or detrimental for lung health. This interaction between the immune system and these bugs can influence the health and longevity of the lung transplant. We aim to discover how we could target these interactions to improve the long-term success of lung transplantation.
