PG15 Postgraduate course
Gene-environment interactions in lung disease (€120)
Basic
Understanding gene-environment interactions and the different exposures that occur at different stages of life
Registration for this course is additional to the congress registration fee and is €120.
Aims : To review the gene-environment interactions that underlie lung disease and the effects of different exposures that occur at various stages of development (e.g., the perinatal period, youth, and adulthood). How genetically susceptible high-risk groups can be identified and the possible targeted interventions at each stage of life will also be discussed.
