Lung Science Conference 2010

At the forefront of basic and translational respiratory science, this conference is an essential event for budding respiratory researchers looking to boost their career.

 

Educational aims

- To present the very best of international lung science research
- To highlight new discoveries likely to impact on the future of respiratory medicine
- To encourage debate and interaction between young postdoctoral scientists and established investigators

LSC 2024 - Development of chronic lung diseases: from life-spanning mechanisms to preventive therapy
LSC 2023 - Post-viral lung diseases - from basic immunology to clinical phenotypes and therapy
LSC 2022 - Mucosal immunology of the lung: balancing protective immunity and chronic inflammation
