Our Team
The Living Lung Research Group is dedicated to advancing precision medicine for genetic and fibrotic lung diseases through cutting-edge stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and translational research. Our team develops iPSC-derived lung models and gene-targeted therapies, creating platforms that bridge basic science and clinical application.
We actively collaborate with academic partners, industry innovators, and clinical teams to accelerate the development of novel treatments and delivery systems. By integrating disease modelling, drug screening, and regenerative approaches, we aim to enable personalised therapies and support the design of next-generation clinical trials.
Our mission is to foster a collaborative ecosystem where multidisciplinary expertise drives breakthroughs in lung health from bench to bedside.
