Respiratory medicine
The research conducted by the Respiratory Division focuses on inflammatory disorders in the airways and lung parenchyma, and on lung cancer.
The success of much of the research is attributed to an excellent and close collaboration between experienced physicians meeting the patients and a well-equipped and closely located research laboratory with professionals, in particular with expertise within the field of inflammation and immunology.
