Inflammatory Respiratory Disease

Our research is one of the original contributors to the NIHR Translational Research Collaboration (TRC) centres.

This recognises our expertise in inflammatory respiratory diseases with dedicated infrastructure including, academic and clinical skills, laboratory facilities and a cohort of well-characterised patients on our research database available for clinical development studies.

The NIHR TRC in inflammatory respiratory disease brings together internationally recognised investigators in the UK's leading centres of excellence to carry out early phase research with industry.

​This NIHR TRC carries out outstanding translational research in inflammatory respiratory disease. Together with industry partners, the TRC focuses on early phase clinical research in patients to identify mechanisms of pathophysiology of disease, or to demonstrate proof of concept or evidence of the validity of new discoveries or treatments

We collaborated in the very first TRP research project to come through the system in 2012 with Chiesi Farmaceutici. 

The Centre Academic lead (CAL) is Professor Dominick Shaw
