Pleased to share our recent publication presenting World Health Organization (WHO) #Tobacco Knowledge Summary on #COPD. It has been a great pleasure working with WHO team, colleagues from ERS , American Thoracic Society (ATS), TSANZ , GOLD, Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), and Asian Pacific Society of Respirology Monica (Wenying) Lu respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…



#WorldLungDay advocates for the right of all people to Clean Air & Healthy Lungs. We support FIRS -Forum of International Respiratory Societies message to encourage communities & governments to invest in #lunghealth & combat #airpollution. For more head to our clinical resources page shorturl.at/vrQNO


📢🌏It’s World Lung Day!🌏 FIRS -Forum of International Respiratory Societies is dedicated to helping create a world where everyone has the right to Clean Air and Healthy Lungs. Read our call to action: bit.ly/3ztHfjf #RespiratoryHealth #LungHealth #MedEd #WorldLungDay



In this Respiratory Translational Research Group research article, Bhattarai et al. investigate the roles of drivers of endothelial to mesenchymal transition, uncovering an active endothelial SMAD pathway, independent of TGF-β1 in smokers, SAD, and COPD patients. #ClinSci #Smoking doi.org/10.1042/CS2024…


We have just advertised a key role as a Research Programme Manager to run the Respiratory Research Group at the University of Dundee Working closely with me and Amelia Shoemark to deliver exciting research. Please retweet and get in touch if interested dundee.ac.uk/work-for-us/jo…

Congrats to our own Dr Sukhwinder Sohal Sukhwinder Singh Sohal 🫁 who was recognised at the recent European Respiratory Society Congress for his extensive research work into lung health. Dr Sohal was joined by Dr Monica Lu Monica (Wenying) Lu who presented three papers at the Congress 👏


Well done to our postdoc Monica (Wenying) Lu reporting novel findings of adipose tissue deposition in IPF lungs and its association with respiratory lung function parameters. Adipose tissue deposition was independent of BMI suggesting other mechanisms at play. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our novel finding of adipose tissue deposit in #IPF lungs 🫁 and its association with respiratory lung function parameters! Thanks to Sukhwinder Singh Sohal 🫁 and Respiratory Translational Research Group team.

Pleased to share our recent clinical and translational review updating on pathology of #IPF, diagnosis and new therapeutic modalities. It’s been a massive collaborative effort and very thankful to all involved Monica (Wenying) Lu Lucilla Piccari @LucillaPiccari@med-mastodon Affan Shahzad sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Pleased to share our Special Report discussing Pathophysiology of small airways in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF): the silent zone Monica (Wenying) Lu Respiratory Translational Research Group #IPF #airways tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Deeply honoured to be awarded Fellowship of The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia in the discipline of Anatomical Pathology, under the Faculty of Science (Research) by Published Works (FFSc RCPA). Very thankful to the College for recognising contributions to the field of Respiratory Medicine/Pathology.


Sharing some insights in the ATS Blue Journal from our recent work on vascular / arterial pruning in smokers, and patients with early COPD. Similar pathology was evident in asthma-COPD overlap patients. EndMT seems central to destructive vascular pathology. atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Congrats and well done to our Research Fellow Dr Wenying Lu Monica (Wenying) Lu for being recognised with TSANZ Janet Elder Award for her work on - Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have fatty lungs: implications for respiratory physiology 👏👏Respiratory Translational Research Group University of Tasmania
