The role of bacteria in the skin: Cold atmospheric plasma for the treatment of pathological skin healing Apr 1, 2017 - Mar 31, 2020
Chronic wounds remain a major area of unmet clinical need, with infection a principle contributing factor to wound chronicity. This project builds upon strong preliminary data suggesting that healing outcome can be directly linked to both wound micro...

Sir Jules Thorn PhD Scholarship Programme 2016 Sep 1, 2016 - Aug 31, 2019
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive scarring disease of the lungs that affects about 15,000 people in the UK. There is no curative treatment and 5-year survival in IPF is worse than many cancers. Despite this, the pathogenesis of IPF... Read More about Sir Jules Thorn PhD Scholarship Programme 2016.
