Researchers: Dr Cristan Herbert (Principal investigator)

Brief description In asthma, structural changes in the airway wall occur which thicken the muscle and epithelial layers, stiffen the airways and increase mucus production. This 'remodelling' makes breathing more difficult and is not effectively reversed with current treatments. We will study the cells and molecules involved in the development of these changes. This project will increase our understanding of the processes which drive these changes and may lead to the development of improved medications.
