Inflammatory mechanisms in pulmonary disease
GROUP INFORMATION
Inflammation and repair process in lung disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Apnoea/hypoapnoea syndrome. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Immunopathogenesis. Molecular diagnosis. Cellular diagnosis. New therapeutic techniques. New models in care.
Pulmonary diseases are a major social and healthcare issue, related to their high prevalence and associated mortality. In recent years, our group has worked on various aspects related to lung diseases, as reflected in our publications in collaboration with other working groups.
General aims:
- Promoting research in pulmonary diseases.
- Promoting care quality in treating patients with chronic lung disease.
- Promoting research knowledge transfer in lung disease.
- Creating new lines of research in collaboration with other groups.
Our research interests: The Pneumology Department at Hospital de La Princesa is part of the Biomedicine R&D Programme. Hospital Universitario de La Princesa ConSEPOC-CM: Inflammation and hypoxia: mechanisms of COPD and SAHS development and progression (S2010/BMD-2542). Julio Ancochea heads up the group (COPD- HLPR), which includes other members of IIS-Princesa. The role of this group in the project has focused on selecting, characterising, monitoring and taking samples of peripheral blood, induced sputum and exhaled breath condensate from patients with COPD and SAHS.
Several active clinical trials will be conducted in the next few years looking at different lung diseases (COPD, asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis).
- Making advances in developing, maintaining and strengthening the chronic respiratory disease group at IIS-Princesa (IP).
- Incorporation of a new senior clinical researcher into our group (J.B. Soriano) through the UAM- Linde Healthcare Chair.
- Completing the European M-BREATH study (COPD Monitoring and Biomarkers) requested by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.
- TackSHS Horizon 2020 proposal submitted. Tackling secondhand smoke emissions from electronic cigarettes: assessing exposure, new interventions, impact in pulmonary diseases and economic burden for different European populations. The TackSHS project. Topic innovation and research: Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases. Prevention and treatment of pulmonary diseases. Reference: HCO-06-2015
- Submit the IMPACTOR proposal to the Horizon 2020 programme. Smart health platform for self-management and predictive monitoring of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and associated comorbidities.
