In Conversation: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Chronic Airways Disease

Leading pulmonologists and allergists will come together for an engaging, case-based panel discussion on chronic inflammatory airway diseases. Explore the latest thinking across specialties as experts unpack the evolving treatment paradigm and share practical strategies for managing the complexities of both upper and lower airway disease. You’ll gain fresh insights into the roles of immune cells, epithelial cytokines, and key molecular drivers of inflammation, and how this knowledge supports more personalized, effective treatment plans.
