Introduction
I am a Principal Investigator in the Newcastle University Translational and Clinical Research Institute and a member of the Regenerative Medicine, Stem Cells and Transplantation Research Theme. My work covers basic, translational and clinical studies into the aetiology, mechanisms, prognosis and therapeutics of inflammatory and fibrotic lung diseases. Major research themes include a specific interest in the optimisation of donor organs prior to lung transplantation, early outcomes after transplantation and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD).
