How is Asthma UK involved in research?
Asthma UK is one of main funders of asthma research in the UK and runs a rolling programme of research. This provides support for expert scientists and clinicians around the country to carry out research into all aspects of asthma and related allergy. There are two main strands to Asthma UK’s research programme: • Basic research, which includes investigations into the causes of asthma and disease mechanisms • Clinical research into treatments and management of asthma. This includes the psychosocial aspects of asthma and non-drug approaches to managing asthma.
