Prof Sulaiman’s research interests have focused on understanding how the lung microbiome interacts with the host immune response, thereby affecting health and lung disease. By studying how the lung microbiome alters the lung immune response Prof Sulaiman hopes to understand the pathophysiological changes that occur early in disease and may lead to new therapeutic targets.
