Lung diseases
AIDS related neumonia (past project)
2006 – 2009 University College London, Dr J Huggett, Prof A Zumla & Dr R Miller
In vitro culture of Pneumocystis jirovecii. Devising the first-ever test-tube method for culturing Pneumocystis jirovecii (an infectious fungus that grows in the lungs of immunocompromised patients), to replace experiments on infected mice and rats with purposely damaged immune systems.
Lung Injury
2006 – 2008 Royal Brompton Hospital, Dr M J Griffiths & Prof T W Evans
The development of complex in vitro models of ventilator-associated lung injury. Developing a replacement techniques as an alternative to invasive experiments on mice and rats.
Fibrosing lung disease
1999 – 2003 Royal Brompton Hospital, London, Dr P Lympany & Dr A Walne
Application of analytical techniques to samples of lung tissue from patients with fibrosing lung disease, to identify genetic risk factors. An alternative to experiements on mice, rats and guinea pigs.
