Breathing Better - Research in Action
This session highlights cutting-edge research spanning a broad spectrum of diseases and conditions affecting the airways and lungs, including respiratory support, inflammatory and chronic lung disorders, as well as lung cancer.
The research at Karolinska Institutet covers a wide range of subjects, from basic mechanistic studies and translational science to clinical research and precision medicine, with the shared goal of improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. Join us for an overview of how multidisciplinary collaborations are advancing our understanding of respiratory health and disease.
