A Quest..
Sarah is currently researching for an exciting project tracing the story of the lives behind the lung disease doctors are convinced is hidden in her families' genes. Sarah aims to tell the stories of her ancestors who had the disease and, in doing so, will tell the story of lung disease and how diagnosis and treatment has moved on from being told to go out and inhale tar when the roads are being resurfaced to intravenous antibiotics, nebulisers, non-invasive home ventilators and even lung transplantation.
John William Moss, who died of bronchiectasis in 1924, at the age of 19.
Sarah is applying for funding from the Arts Council and Welcome Trust for this project, aiming to tell the story and history of genetics and lung disease through the reconstruction of family from the 1900s to the present time. Sarah is looking for an academic partner to work with on this. If you are, or know, anyone who works in the UK and is an expert in the history of lung disease or genetics, please get in touch.
