Inside the lab - researcher profiles

My team focuses on how Pseudomonas adapts to its environment in order to thrive more knowledge in this area would allow us to combat it more effectively

"Behind every research project that you support are scientists who care deeply about their results and about bringing change to improve the lives of people that live with CF"

I'm looking into gene editing possibilities for CF

A better understanding of how the CFTR protein transports bicarbonate could lead to the development of therapies that benefit more people with CF.

My research is investigating how CF affects the gut (intestine) and its potential link to colorectal cancer.

Its really difficult to measure where inhaled drugs end up in the lungs, so I’m developing a mathematical model to predict that

I'm using a very exciting and cool model called human gut 'organoids' to study the activities of the CF protein (CFTR)

My primary responsibility involves the organisation and management of phase 1 (early phase) trials designed for people with CF

My research is all about maximizing the potential for the UK CF Registry data to answer questions about treatment effectiveness

I'm developing a model that can be used in the pre-clinical testing pipeline for new antibiotics for CF lung infections

I’m looking at ways to rehydrate the mucus using drugs or compounds to improve lung clearance

I’m interested in the bacteria in our intestines, known as the gut ‘microbiota’ or microbiome and their complex links with GI symptoms in people with CF

My research is looking at the links between diet, the bugs that grow in our guts and tummy and bowel symptoms in adults with CF

I enjoy sharing what studies we have at Barts to those who are curious and want to be involved.

I love being in the laboratory and finding out how things might work in the pancreas with my experiments; knowing my results can potentially help people in the future.
