My main research interest is the role of non-coding RNAs (namely microRNAs and circular RNAs) in lung diseases including cystic fibrosis and pulmonary fibrosis. I recently entered the world of patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells and their application in disease modelling and drug discovery, with the ultimate goal to develop novel therapeutics using non-coding RNA-based strategies coupled with innovative drug delivery approaches.
