Current Projects

1. Investigate the effect of hyperglycaemia on lung disease in patients with cystic fibrosis.
2. Functional and molecular evidence for glucose transport in human airway epithelium.
3. Randomised controlled Trial of Nosocomial Respiratory Tract Infection with Intensive Insulin Therapy in the Critically Ill.
4. Comparison of methods for sampling airways surface liquid, bronchoalveolar lavage versus microprobe sampling.
5. Continuous Glucose Monitoring in:
   1. Patients treated with Intensive Insulin Therapy in Intensive Care.
   2. Patients with acute exacerbations of COPD.
6. What determines glucose clearance from the nasal airways?
7. Use of nasal potential difference measurements to investigate sodium and glucose transport across human nasal epithelium.
