Big news in academic publishing!

It was fantastic to get our ERS Taskforce on development of GLI #CPET reference values faculty together. In this modern world inability to attend #ERS2022 #ERSCongress wasn't a barrier. Really useful discussions. Lots still to do. More to come...

The final version of our most recent paper is now available online. Respiratory Investigation Unit Queen's U Department of Medicine journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

👀it’s out! The llatest 2023 GOLD COPD guidance has been released... 🌟There are BIG changes this year. Here are my first thoughts… but lots to digest: TL/DR: 1. Revised #COPD defn 2. Etiotypes 3. ABCD is out, ABE is in 4. Farewell ICS-LABA 5. New exacerbation defn 1/n👇

New work from our group lead by Prof Alberto Neder! Queen's U Department of Medicine Queen's Health Sciences Research@Queen's University

And just like that, my postdoctoral fellowships at Respiratory Investigation Unit has come and gone. I am forever grateful for my time in Kingston working with Prof Denis O’Donnell and the rest of his great team (Matthew James, Reggie Smyth, Sandra Vincent, Prof Alberto Neder).

Our most recent work, led by our lab alumni Dr. Kate Milne and Dr. Devin Phillips. Research@Queen's University Queen's U Department of Medicine we provide neurophysiological insight into exertional breathlessness in patients post pulmonary embolism.
