Question: do you work on any other diseases apart from the ones u have listed? and how do you help to cure them?

Hi, though my work is mostly likely to impace on Cystic Fibrosis patients, it will also be useful for other diseases where the patients have infections with the bacterium I work on – this includes burns patients, HIV patients and some hospitalised patients. In addition, there is a rare genetic disease called ‘Primary cilial dyskinesia” which affects the lungs of children. These patients suffer from severe lung infections and my work could potentially help to improve the symptoms.
