Speakers - Professor Jonathan Grigg and Dr Rossa Brugha.
Jonathan Grigg is the Professor of Paediatric Respiratory and Environmental Medicine at Barts and The London and Rossa Brugha is a paediatric registrar and a Clinical Research Fellow.
To find out more about Jonathan and Rossa go to www.centreofthecell.org/centre/?page_id=349
Professor Grigg's research looks at two broad areas: wheezing and asthma in children, and how air pollution affects people's lungs. He and Rossa now work on the Low Emission Zone study, a project where they visit local schools and check children's lung function to compare the amount of traffic in London to how well children's lungs are growing. They are also working on a project to see if pollution affects the immune system in the lungs, and if this might cause asthma or asthma attacks.
The lecture will tackle the important issue of whether exposure to air pollution is something we need to be concerned about and how we can solve the problems associated with it.
Event format:
The lecture will last 45-50 minutes and will be followed by an opportunity to discuss the lecture with other visitors and scientists.
The Centre of the Cell Pod will also be open for visitors between 7 and 8pm.
Please note that although anyone is welcome to come along to this event, it is aimed at those aged 16 and above and may not be suitable for younger audiences.
