Institute for Respiratory Health

Meet the freezer that’s helping protect life-saving research! 🧊

Last month, the team from Aerodrome Management Services visited the Institute for Respiratory Health to see firsthand the difference their support makes, including a new minus 80-degree freezer in our Clinical Trials Unit.

Every sample stored inside represents a contribution from a clinical trial patient, and could help researchers understand disease, track new treatments, or improve outcomes for people living with lung disease.

Our researchers at the The National Centre for Asbestos Related Diseases also showed the group through the lab, including a look at mesothelioma cells under the microscope and the work being done towards better treatments for this devastating cancer.

A huge thank you to Aerodrome Management Services for being such a generous partner. 💙
