The Respiratory Technology Team of the Woolcock Institute for Medical Research (WIMR) has announced that a $12,000 International Research Collaboration Award from the University of Sydney will fund a collaboration between the team and Carsten Ehrhardt of Trinity College Dublin. Ehrhardt will perform research on drug absorption of inhaled drugs at WIMR during a sabbatical from Trinity.
According to the announcement, “This primer grant will support an initial study of healthy and diseased lung tissue from clinical patients and will result in a greater understanding of the mechanisms that underpin disease and the effectiveness of current inhalation medicines. ”
