The project
aims to identify DNA polymorphic variation within the human genome, which may
contribute towards altered disease progression and treatment responses in
bronchial asthma. The focus of the project is on genes which are responsible for
the expression of proteins which influence signal transduction mechanisms
relevant to bronchial asthma.
Experimental work is being carried out in Malta at the laboratory of the
Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and two molecular biology
laboratories of the Department of Physiology and Biochemistry; and in the UK at
the molecular biology laboratory of the Division of Therapeutics, Queen’s
Medical Centre, University of Nottingham.
