Funded Activity Summary

Steroids are used to treat asthma but some patients are resistant to therapy, and there is no effective treatment. Such patients suffer greater morbidity and mortality, and the heath care cost for clinical management is a significant economic burden. In this project we will obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms that regulate steroid-resistant components of disease, which control inflammation and narrowing of the airway. These studies will be central to the development of new therapies.
