Target audience
Whether you are a practicing pulmonologist, resident preparing
for the pulmonology board, research fellow involved in research on
airway inflammation/oxidative stress, or laboratory technician
performing lung function tests, methacholine challenge or exhaled
breath tests, this course will offer an exceptional learning
opportunity.
Educational aims
This course will provide you with a critical overview of
different modes of monitoring airway diseases and associated
inflammation and oxidative stress in research and clinical
practice, under the guidance of a faculty who are experts in their
field.
It will give methodological advice with information on the
current guidelines in each method. You will learn the most
important steps in using these techniques and determine the most
frequent pitfalls when using them, together with potential
interpreting data problems. Furthermore, you will learn the
potential place of these techniques in monitoring airway diseases.
The programme of the course is designed to form a bridge between
basic science and clinical work.
