Biomarkers in exhaled air for lung disease

Projekt: Avhandling

Projektinformation

Beskrivning

Currently, diagnosing lung injury at an early stage is problematic even if it is acute lung injury secondary to infection or graft failure after lung transplantation or in primary lung cancer. The diagnostics tools for lung injuries are too blunt or invasive.
The current project aims to explore the use of exhaled breath
particles (EBP) to diagnose lung injury at an early stage. This method has several advantages, sampling can be made with a simple breath, with a non invasive approach, on normal breathing patients as well as patients on mechanical ventilation. The project aims to explore biomarkers within EBP using mass spectrometry (MS), and antibody based omics analysis, focusing mainly on lung transplantations and lung cancer.
