Courses

Target audience

• Pneumologists
• Pneumology trainees
• Research fellows involved in research on airway inflammation/oxidative stress
• Laboratory technicians performing lung function tests, methacholine challenge or exhaled breath tests

Educational aims

• To 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.
• To give you 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.
