MY JOB AND THE UNIT IN WHICH I WORK
I am Professor of Paediatric Respiratory and Environmental Medicine at Queen Mary University London. The Medical School is based at the London Hospital, and serves a population characterised by its ethnic diversity and social deprivation. The Academic Unit of Paediatrics is based in the Institute for Cell and Molecular Science, and has the strategic aim of translating basic scientific observations into clinically relevant outcomes. The current focus of my research team is on air pollution-induced vulnerability to bacterial and viral lower respiratory tract infections (especially in the developing world), and the treatment of wheezing illnesses in children.
