Books By Noor, Professor (Professor, The University of Nottingham, School of Life Sciences, Nottingham, UK) Kalsheker, Robert Stockley - Author

Professor Kalsheker is the Head of Division and Co-director of the Institute of Genetics and teaches in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Nottingham. His work is focused on the study of humoral control of genes of the serine proteinase inhibitor family which regulate key biological pathways and how functional genetic variants contribute to complex diseases such as chronic lung disease. Professor Stockley has a longstanding interest in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with special reference to airway inflammation, proteinases and anti-proteinases, and especially the role of the neutrophils, bacteria and exacerbations. His research focuses on investigating the factors governing neutrophil differentiation, activation and recruitment as processes that determine the degree of tissue damage resulting in the establishment and progression of chronic lung disease.
