Respiratory Medicine

In our clinical trial unit at Ghent University Hospital, we are conducting studies investigating new treatment methods for various lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, ILD, respiratory infections, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Our Lung Research Center at Ghent University consists of three research units:

• Laboratory for Obstructive Airway Diseases: asthma and COPD
• Respiratory Infection and Defense Lab (RIDL): studying host-microorganism interactions

• Tumor Immunology Lab (TIL): dendritic cell vaccination for lung cancer.
