Professor Louise Donnelly is a Professor of Respiratory Cell Biology, in the Section of Airway Disease at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London.
Her research interests are primarily focused on the cellular profile of inflammatory lung diseases including asthma and COPD. In particular, her work investigates how inflammatory cells are altered in the disease state and how these changes can be exploited in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. To this end, Professor Donnelly’s group have established a number of human primary cell systems to investigate mechanisms of aberrant inflammation.
