Summary
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are chronic lung diseases with significant health impacts, but limited drug treatment options. Although home oxygen treatment (HOT) is commonly used in these patients, its clinical benefits are uncertain with potential risks and significant costs for both patients and the health care system. Very little published information is available on the use of HOT in these patients. These studies aim to improve our knowledge and management of HOT in patients with ILD.

Summary
Oncofertility, bridges oncology and reproductive medicine in order to apply new fertility preservation options for young patients with fertility-threatening diseases or treatments. Development of the three dimensional (3-D) tissue culture system for follicle maturation is a novel method of replicating the native environment of the growing egg. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop and optimise an in vitro culture procedure that can be translated to support human follicle development.
