Lung Disease

Lung disease can cause severe, protracted illness and impaired quality of life. Researchers are using stem cells and tissue engineered models to understand the onset and progression of these diseases, and to investigate new therapies. Researchers are also investigating whether gene therapy can be used to treat certain genetic lung disorders, such as cystic fibrosis. On this page you will find information on ongoing research into lung disease and how it can be treated, along with information on where you can seek support if you or someone you care for are living with lung disease.
