Elucidation of the Aetiology of Airway Remodelling in COPD [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Brian Oliver (Principal investigator) ,  Dr CorryAnke Brandsma ,  Prof Ian Adcock

Brief description This project grant aims to discover how cigarette smoking induces the development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by understanding how smoking drives the key pathological charges in the airways, airway remodelling. Our research to-date has found that cells from people with COPD have an hightened response to cigarette smoke and we aim to uncover the molecular basis of this aberrant response.
