#BALR2024 British Association for Lung Research (BALR)
Thrilled to finally meet Prof Francesca Polverino! Excellent spacial transcriptomics is data on COPD with a pinch of new controversies regards GOLD staging.

Thank you James D Chalmers and your team for having me in Dundee. You guys are a powerhouse!

Fantastic news for our team! We have just received the Pathway Grant from Sanofi US Sanofi to study Th2 inflammation in COPD. This major win fuels our ongoing efforts to advance COPD personalized treatment and improve health. #COPD

See you soon in Dundee!

I am thrilled to announce that we have received the Research Grant from the Alpha1 Foundation Alpha-1 Foundation to study the role of Alpha1Antitrypsin on B cell immunity
A special thanks to Wilsonlab for the support

The American Lung Association study section has kicked off!

Francesca Polverino 's presentation on multiomics of B cells in COPD was truly eye-opening. This brings COPD care closer to personalized medicine and understanding disease mechanisms. 🫁 🔬

RIP Tobias. Great scientist and clinician. Am honored I was able to work with him for a while. He will be missed.

Register now for the ATS 2024 postgraduate course “PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS IN COPD FROM THE MULTI-OMICS PERSPECTIVE” where we will discuss the impact of multiomics on our understanding of COPD pathogenesis.

If true, a game changer in #COPD management.

Endothelial to mesenchymal transition is an active process in smokers and patients with early COPD, contributing to arterial remodelling and lung fibrosis. Endothelial cells in COPD are more than bystanders and should not be overlooked. bit.ly/49TtZBZ

Proud #womaninscience . While much progress is being made in giving women the same opportunities as men, we are only halfway there. And it's not about “promoting” women. It's about giving them the same opportunities for leadership and success that are historically given to men.

Uncle @PhilHansbro is back to Houston

Is this the beginning of the Borscht revolution in pulmonary medicine? Naturally nitrate rich Beet juice - ⬇️ blood pressure, ⬆️ vascular function, ⬆️ exercise capacity in COPD. Kudos Drs Alasmari, Hopkinson & teams. Hope effect is sustained
