This is a new interdisciplinary partnership between the University of Cambridge, Cambridge University Hospital and Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Trusts and GSK, bringing together expertise from these partners.

In the clinical cohort research study, the research associate will provide clinical support, covering a weekly research clinic and bronchoscopy list. The lab studies will include integration of multi-omics and clinical data and will involve close collaboration with colleagues across CG-TIC and at GSK.
