Announcing the New American Lung Association Research Institute
The American Lung Association’s mission is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. We do this through education, advocacy, and research.
Research Making a Difference
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) conducts and supports research that expands our understanding of lung biology and how lung diseases start and progress, as well as studies and clinical trials that lead to new and improved ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent lung diseases.
Respiratory Medicine & Exercise Physiology are At Our Core
Our commitment is to improve the quality and duration of life for those suffering from chronic respiratory disease. Through research sponsored by National Institutes for Health (NIH), industry, foundations, and our investigators, we partner with healthcare providers and study participants to improve patient outlook.
Stories From the Heart: Educational Resources for Patients
The mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is to accelerate the development of new treatments and ultimately a cure for pulmonary fibrosis. Until this goal is achieved, the PFF is committed to advancing improved care of patients with PF and providing unequaled support and education resources for patients, caregivers, family members, and health care providers.
Shared Stories About the Impacts of Lung Disease & Air Quality
The American Lung Association’s mission is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. We do this through education, advocacy, and research.
Respiratory Health Association: Good Policy Saves Lives
Respiratory Health Association’s mission is to prevent lung disease, promote clean air and help people live better through education, research, and policy change. Today we address asthma, COPD, lung cancer, tobacco control and air quality with a comprehensive approach.
Ella Balasa: Patient Voice in Healthcare
Ella Balasa is passionate about amplifying the patient voice in healthcare. Having a background in biology, I’ve experienced both sides of the research spectrum – as a patient and a scientist. Examining antibiotic resistant bacteria in the environment, which is the same bacteria that thrive in the lungs of those with CF, my work in the lab intersected with my health. This fueled my interest in involving myself in a research capacity on committees and advisory roles with organizations providing a patient perspective and promoting patient centricity.
