Pharmacological management of airway obstructive diseases is a fast evolving field. Several advances in unravelling disease mechanism as well as intracellular and molecular pathways of drug action have been accomplished. While the clinical translation and implementation of in vitro results at bedside remains challenging, advances in the comprehending of mechanisms of respiratory medication is expected to assist clinician-scientists in identifying meaningful read-outs and designing clinical studies. The crosstalk between basic, translational and clinical experts at all levels, including other stakeholders such as industry and patient representatives should align common needs and expectations. This research seminar will focus on the current understanding of disease mechanisms and drug action and how the cooperation between basic, translational and clinical research can contribute to advance the field.
Understand the nature and mechanisms of actions of the current pharmacological therapy of obstructive lung disease
Analyse the key challenges faced during clinical development of anti-inflammatory drugs for asthma and COPD
Explain concepts related to lung remodelling and regeneration in airway disease
Evaluate challenges in the treatment of patients with asthma and COPD
Synthetize mechanisms of steroid resistance, drug interactions and pharmacogenetics in obstructive lung disease
Predict ways to optimize drug therapy in asthma and COPD
Network and have the possibility to engage in high-level debates and refine their ideas
