Pulmonary Research Studies
Our team of experts diagnose and treat a wide range of breathing problems. From common conditions like asthma to more complex conditions like lung cancer and they rely on research to help advance health care.
Every breath counts. Can research pave the way for better care?
Millions of people struggle with lung conditions like asthma and COPD, making breathing a daily battle. Pulmonary research is our key to unlocking a healthier future. By studying how lungs work and what causes illness, researchers develop better diagnoses, treatments, and even cures. This research leads to new medications, therapies, and even devices to help people breathe easier and live fuller lives.
Our expertise runs deep and many services and resources we provide are not available at other medical centers, including our research in treatment options for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer. We will continue to train the next generation of pulmonologists about the importance of continuing this important research.
Why you should enroll in a research study
- Study volunteers enrolled in a clinical study receive an extra layer of medical care with frequent follow up and progress assessments
- Study volunteers participating in clinical trials may achieve better outcomes than those not enrolled in a study
- Access to the latest treatments long before they may become widely available
- As a result of your own experience or that of a loved one, you may want to shape the future of health care for yourself and others
