Dr Reid is a respiratory physician determining the relationships between bacterial pathogen behaviour and the host immune response in Cystic Fibrosis. The aim of his research is to use observations made in the clinical setting to develop novel therapeutics and identification of biomarkers that will be employed to pre-empt and better treat clinical disease with the ultimate aim of improving length and quality of life.
I am a clinical scientist conducting translational and implementation research to improve diagnosis, management and understanding of airway diseases including asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), bronchiectasis and persistent cough.
I am an applied respiratory physiologist investigating the pathophysiology of upper airway dysfunction in individuals with sleep-disordered breathing and the application of exercise physiology principles to the development of novel rehabilitation methods
I am a clinical researcher determining: a) the role of altered airway structure, particularly airway smooth muscle and extracellular matrix, in asthma and COPD; and b) the prevalence of, and risk factors for, respiratory disease in general populations.
I am a pulmonary physician-gene therapist persuing new therapies for pulmonary vascular disease, lung cancer and mesothelioma, COPD and lung transplant rejection
