Research Track Record

The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.

Rare Diseases

Neuromuscular disorders include many rare conditions, such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy, that adversely impact respiratory health.

Environmental Exposures

The lungs represent a key interface between the body and the environment.

Healthy Lungs & Immune Development

Focusing on the developmental trajectories of respiratory health includes developing strategies to improve and support immune system function and development over the life course.

Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity

Each year, 11% (15 million) of the world’s babies are delivered before 37 weeks’ gestation.
