Lung Science Conference 2017

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

 

A collection of mini-review articles based on presentations from the 15th European Respiratory Society Lung Science Conference can be read here.

 

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
