ATS 2020 Advance Program

Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • understand the basic biology and physiology of asthma; • learn about the latest techniques in clinical trial design, genomics and translational research in asthma; • understand the latest techniques for basic research in asthma. This course is focused on providing a comprehensive overview of major techniques and tools in asthma investigation, ranging from clinical trials to translational tools to basic models. The course will feature investigators of different backgrounds and focus to get a broad view of the current state of asthma research. Chairing: P. Akuthota, MD, La Jolla, CA B.D.
