Building Tomorrow’s Groundbreaking Asthma Clinical Studies, Today
January 24, 2025
BRI’s multicenter translational asthma research symposium will build and strengthen bonds between industry experts in asthma clinical research, leaders in academic asthma research, and some of the most promising young investigators in the field.
In parallel and throughout the day, trainees and staff scientists in allergy and immunology, pulmonary medicine, pediatrics, bioinformatics, and other specialties will have access to a highly-unique educational experience including industry sponsor exhibit booths and presentations. Networking events including a breakfast mixer, symposium breaks and dinner will allow for further discussion.
