British Association for Lung Research

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 more experienced scientists to come together to discuss and exchange ideas.
