About us
We are the Centre for Inflammation. The first initiative joint programme between the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Centenary Institute (CI). Our focus is on investigating the development and progression of chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, lung cancer and infections using mouse and human tissues. Our group is made of “clusters” who specialize in areas including 1) chronic respiratory disease in general, 2) bioinformatic analyses of genome-scale datasets, 3) epigenomics studies, 4) mitochondria, oxidative stress and immunometabolism, 5) microbiome studies, and 6) exosome studies of human and mouse tissues. We are also establishing our own COVID-19 PC3 laboratory.
