Our aim is to optimize the use of experimental models in lung research and to stimulate and facilitate collaborations between research groups of the academia and industry. During this 6th symposium, experts in the field, post-docs and PhD students will give an overview of the animal models used in pulmonary research such as pulmonary infection, asthma, lung emphysema, neonatal lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, etc.
Our keynote speakers, professor dr Klaus Erb (Respiratory Diseases, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH, Germany) and professor dr Robert Snelgrove (National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial college London, UK) will present on lung infection.
We invite all NRS members that are (interested in) working with animal models in experimental pulmonary disease or associated research.
