Mendelian randomisation of eosinophils and other cell types in relation to lung function and disease (2022)
Journal Article
Guyatt, A., John, C., Williams, A. T., Shrine, N., Reeve, N. F., Sayers, I., …SpiroMeta consortium. (2023). Mendelian randomisation of eosinophils and other cell types in relation to lung function and disease. Thorax, 78(5), 496-503. https://doi.org/10.1136/thoraxjnl-2021-217993

Rationale Eosinophils are associated with airway inflammation in respiratory disease. Eosinophil production and survival is controlled partly by interleukin-5: anti-interleukin-5 agents reduce asthma and response correlates with baseline eosinophil c...

Functional genomics of GPR126 in airway smooth muscle and bronchial epithelial cells (2021)
Journal Article
Hall, R. J., O'Loughlin, J., Billington, C. K., Thakker, D., Hall, I. P., & Sayers, I. (2021). Functional genomics of GPR126 in airway smooth muscle and bronchial epithelial cells. FASEB Journal, 35(7), Article e21300. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.202002073R

GPR126 is an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor which lies on chromosome 6q24. Genetic variants in this region are reproducibly associated with lung function and COPD in genome wide association studies (GWAS). The aims of this study were to define t...

A data analysis of the Chilean housing stock and the development of modelling archetypes (2019)
Journal Article
Molina, C., Kent, M., Hall, I., & Jones, B. (2020). A data analysis of the Chilean housing stock and the development of modelling archetypes. Energy and Buildings, 206, Article 109568. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2019.109568

Chile is a South American country experiencing greater social and economic development than the majority of its neighbours and whose economy is transitioning from developing to developed status. It is committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emis... Read More about A data analysis of the Chilean housing stock and the development of modelling archetypes.

Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock (2019)
Journal Article
O'Leary, C., Jones, B., Dimitroulopoulou, S., & Hall, I. P. (2019). Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock. Building and Environment, 166, Article 106417. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2019.106417

Exposure to particulate matter with diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) is associated with an elevated risk of adverse health effects and cooking is a primary source of PM2.5 in non-smoking households. Therefore, it is important to investigate PM2.5 concentrati... Read More about Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock.

Genetic landscape of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identifies heterogeneous cell type and phenotype associations (2019)
Journal Article
Sakornsakolpat, P., Prokopenko, D., Lamontagne, M., Reeve, N. F., Guyatt, A. L., Jackson, V. E., …Cho, M. H. (2019). Genetic landscape of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identifies heterogeneous cell type and phenotype associations. Nature Genetics, 51(3), 494–505. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41588-018-0342-2

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of respiratory mortality worldwide. Genetic risk loci provide novel insights into disease pathogenesis. We performed a genome-wide association study in 35,735 cases and 222,076 control...

Investigating measurements of fine particle (PM2.5) emissions from the cooking of meals and mitigating exposure using a cooker hood (2019)
Journal Article
O 'Leary, C., Kluizenaar, Y., Jacobs, P., Borsboom, W., Hall, I., & Jones, B. (2019). Investigating measurements of fine particle (PM2.5) emissions from the cooking of meals and mitigating exposure using a cooker hood. Indoor Air, 29(3), 423-438. https://doi.org/10.1111/ina.12542

There is growing awareness that indoor exposure to particulate matter with diameter ≤ 2.5μm (PM2.5) is associated with an increased risk of adverse health effects. Cooking is a key indoor source of PM2.5 and an activity conducted daily in most homes....
