- | We are working on theoretical and experimental models which underpin Bronchial Thermoplasty (BT) treatment (application of electro-generated heat from within airways) for severe asthma. We aim to capture all the scales from cells to the entire lung to understand the impact of the treatment on lung structure and function. The combined modelling approach will allow better targeting of patient groups that could benefit most from the BT procedure, while also suggesting treatment protocol optimisation. Please see more details on [[http://www.airprom.eu|www.airprom.eu]]. | + | We are working on theoretical and experimental models which underpin Bronchial Thermoplasty (BT) treatment (application of electro-generated heat from within airways) for severe asthma.
