Asthma Inflammation Research
Study Description
“Asthma Inflammation Research”
The overall goal of the Asthma Inflammation Research [AIR] Translational Program is to create an integrated multidisciplinary team for the focused purpose of development of diagnostic and prognostic tests informative for airway inflammation, and for the design of innovative, targeted biologic therapeutics. The overarching aims of the AIR program are to conceptualize, develop, and test the next-generation therapeutics, and novel asthma diagnostic and prognostic tools that will allow us to improve the standard of asthma care.
