Congratulations @beccahull_ - touchRESPIRATORY future leader 2026
read below about her amazing work developing new treatments for bronchiectasis and chronic respiratory infections including Pseudomonas
Meet Dr Rebecca Hull @beccahull_ - touchRESPIRATORY Future Leader 2026!
Focused on chronic respiratory infections, Dr Hull’s research explores bronchiectasis, airway microbiology, inflammatory mechanisms, and multi-omics approaches to advance precision medicine and improve outcomes for people with chronic lung disease.
In this interview, she reflects on the mentors and experiences that shaped her career, a defining breakthrough in her research, and the innovations—from targeted antimicrobial therapies to microbiome-informed precision medicine—that she believes will transform the future of chronic respiratory infection care.

Mucus plugs and why do they matter?
Are they a consequence of, or a cause for, bronchiectasis?
Different types of mucus plug make up shown to be different across asthma severity.

Azurocidin-1 shown is a mediator of bronchiectasis severity, epithelial defence. It also increases rapidly in sepsis, increasing vascular permeability.
A new biomarker and prognosticator for our patients for the future? #WBConf2026 #criticalcare
