COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) research hub

Using Multiomics to Define Mechanisms of Rhinovirus-induced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations to Develop Novel Therapies and Therapeutic Targets

This study investigates why common cold viruses worsen COPD, aiming to find new treatments. Researchers will compare people with COPD and healthy volunteers after giving them a safe, contained dose of the common cold virus. This will uncover how the body reacts and identify ways to tackle flare-ups.
