PG8 Postgraduate course
Airway and lung fibrosis (€120)
Translational
How epigenetic changes affect fibroblasts and novel therapeutic approaches
Registration for this course is additional to the congress registration fee and is €120.
Aims : To describe the key challenges and features of lung fibrosis; to discuss how epigenetic changes such as miRNAs can affect fibroblast development and function; to compare the progress made in understanding lung fibrosis to the advances made in elucidating the role of fibrosis in liver disease; and to demonstrate how these advances in science will lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
