Driving innovation through collaboration
The Living Lung Research Group thrives on partnerships across academia, industry, and clinical networks to accelerate discoveries in lung health. We are actively seeking new collaborations to advance disease modelling, gene-targeted therapies, and translational research. Whether you are interested in joint projects, technology development, or clinical trial design, we welcome opportunities to work together and make a global impact.

My main research interest is the role of non-coding RNAs (namely microRNAs and circular RNAs) in lung diseases including cystic fibrosis and pulmonary fibrosis. I recently entered the world of patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells and their application in disease modelling and drug discovery, with the ultimate goal to develop novel therapeutics using non-coding RNA-based strategies coupled with innovative drug delivery approaches.
