Lung Science Conference 2008

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

Create a topic-oriented dialogue between young post-doctoral scientists and established investigators on the following major topics:

- Trigger mechanisms of lung injury
- Cellular responses to lung injury
- Resolution of lung inflammation
- Extracellular matrix dynamics and remodelling

LSC 2008 - Lung Injury, Repair and Remodelling

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
