Airway scarring, or airway fibrosis, is a pathological process by which the airway tissue is progressively replaced with scar tissue. This change makes it difficult for people to breathe. I have developed novel in-vitro models which enables us to understand why fibrosis is occurring, and in my research fellowship I aim to uncover new ways of treating fibrosis in lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

气道瘢痕形成或气道纤维化是气道组织逐渐被瘢痕组织替代的病理过程。这种变化使人们呼吸困难。我开发了新的体外模型，使我们能够了解纤维化发生的原因，在我的研究奖学金中，我的目标是发现治疗哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）等肺部疾病纤维化的新方法。
