Our major areas of research interest are:

• cellular and molecular mechanisms of the resolution and persistence of lung inflammation and scarring
• mechanisms of acute lung injury in the adult respiratory distress syndrome
• gene therapeutic approaches to the augmentation of genes that protect against tissue injury in lung inflammation
• biology of small-cell lung cancer
• the effects of cigarette smoke, ozone and other pollutants on the lung
• sleep apnoea
• applied lung physiology

The unit also offers a number of research opportunities in areas of clinical interest, for example:

• asthma
• chronic bronchitis
• emphysema
• cystic fibrosis
