Our mission comes alive with extensive collaborative researches, symposium, seminars and workshops as well as by the continuous and valuable interactions among the researchers. We also attempt to present and share our research results with other academic and research institutions in Korea.
We're currently in the process of standardizing various clinical evaluation methods including personal and family histories of respiratory disease, results of lung function test and allergy test, quality of life assessment and other prognostic factors.
Our efforts to develop and implement the standardized clinical practice guidelines for COPD and asthma will enable us to improve wellness of life of all people and promote high quality of medical care. We also plan to establish an infrastructure to become the hub of clinical research in the East Asia regions that will actively conduct multinational clinical trials.
