Infections as inhitiators and exaerbators of chronic lung disease

The central purpose of this scientific meeting is to present, discuss and evaluate the recent developments in the fields of pulmonary research, with a particular focus on the role of viral and bacterial infections of the airway and how these infections modulate the host immune system.

The BALR brings together both basic scientists and clinicians from various fields, including respiratory medicine, immunology, virology and bacteriology.  It provides an excellent forum for both early career and experienced scientists to come together to discuss and exchange ideas.

In addition to a programme of international speakers, the meeting will also include our traditional Young Scientist competition, free communications and a poster session. Prizes of £750 will be awarded to the best Young Scientist and £250 for best poster.

CPD credits: The meeting has been approved by the Royal College of Physicians for CPD accreditation. Attendees will be eligible for an entitlement of 9 CPD credits.
