Excited to share this work, now out in @NatureGenet . There is no cure for #COPD. To tackle this challenge, we performed nuclear sequencing, spatial transcriptomic, and proteomic analysis of lung tissue from 141 subjects to better understand this disease. nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Today is #WorldAsthmaDay! Summer isn’t always an easy season when you have a lung condition.
Things like hay fever and hot weather can make breathing more difficult and stop you doing the things you love. This summer we want to inspire you with ways to achieve your goals ☀️
This is excellent news and long overdue. I’m sure it will tempt many who have moved to secondary/tertiary care roles and who are not necessarily valued financially for undertaking this level of practice to come back to primary/community care.

Today’s the day where we finally get to present the 1st National joint NICE/BTS/SIGN asthma guidelines that myself and the other fabulous committee members have been working on for the last 3 years. A little bit excited and a little bit nervous. Let’s see how they’re received.
