I have pioneered the use of Omalizumab in the treatment of severe allergic asthma and have been involved in several Phase 2 & 3 clinical trials studying the newer biologic treatment in severe asthma.

This unit has grown to become one of the largest self-funded respiratory clinical trials in the UK.I have been the chief co-ordinating investigator in the UK for several multi-national phase 2 & 3 severe asthma and COPD trials. The Unit has recruited several Global first and European first patients into these trials. The unit attracts patients for its Clinical Trials programme from across the region.
