National Jewish Medical and Research Center

The objectives of the Environmental Lung Disease Center are to improve the understanding of lung disease, and develop innovative early disease detection, prevention and treatment approaches. The center's research involves: 1) determining the molecular mechanisms of environmental and occupational lung disease, 2) identifying the genetic and molecular basis for individual susceptibility, and 3) identifying the risk and effects of air pollution on human population with preexisting pulmonary diseases, and the exposure/host response relationship that leads to disease. Besides immunologic diseases, the project will focus on respiratory, allergic, and infectious diseases, through an integrated program of basic and clinical research.
