From Scarring to Healing: Uncovering Mechanisms and Therapies for Pulmonary Fibrosis

University of Technology Sydney

About the Project Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating condition characterised by progressive lung fibrosis (scarring), leading to respiratory failure and lung tissue damage. Current therapies only slow disease progression, highlighting an urgent need for better understanding of disease mechanisms and the development of novel treatments.

Line-scanning Brillouin-Raman microscope

University of Technology Sydney

About the Project Brillouin spectroscopy is a technique for measuring visco-elastic properties of biological materials, with applications to fundamental biology, tissue engineering, and drug-discovery. Raman spectroscopy is a technique that probes sample’s chemical composition. Recently, Brillouin and Raman spectroscopies were combined in a confocal microscopy system to achieve mechano-chemical mapping in 3D.

Lung Fibrosis Uncovered: From Cells to Treatments

University of Technology Sydney

About the Project Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe and progressive lung disease characterised by excessive scarring, tissue stiffening, and respiratory failure. Current treatments only slow progression, highlighting the urgent need to uncover the mechanisms that drive fibrosis and to develop more effective therapeutic strategies. Our research group investigates how normal tissue repair becomes dysregulated, leading to chronic fibrosis and lung failure.

Stimulated and Quantum-enhanced Brillouin imaging

University of Technology Sydney

About the Project Brillouin spectroscopy is an important technique for measuring the visco-elastic properties of biological materials, with applications to fundamental biology, tissue engineering, and drug-discovery. It has a unique advantage of being non-contact and label-free method that makes it especially suitable for in vivo and in situ imaging.
