      The projects in my lab are still at an early stage of development, so we haven’t tested anything on patients yet, let alone got anything into widespread use yet, though our current results do seem promising! We are looking at drugs for treating atherosclerosis – this is the initial inflammation in blood vessels in the heart that eventually leads on to heart attack, heart disease and strokes – it’s currently completely irreversible and the most common cause of death in the world.
