This is an opportunity for undergraduate basic science or medical students to undertake a project for up to 8 weeks. Students will have the opportunity to undertake respiratory research in an area of interest to them, supported by an experienced scientific expert. The studentship offers an exciting prospect for students considering a career in lung disease research.

The projects can cover:

  • A specific lung condition (e.g., IPF, asthma, COPD)
  • Cross-respiratory research, with value across all (e.g., pulmonary infection)
