Her research focuses on respiratory virus-host interactions and subsequent innate immune responses. Dr Broadbent's expertise in developing well-differentiated human primary airway epithelial cell cultures (WD-PAEC) facilitates investigation of virus infection in a physiologically and morphologically relevant model. Her current research is directed towards the role of respiratory viruses in longer term lung damage and the development of chronic lung disease.
