The Institute for Lung Health uncovers the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the maintenance of lung health and their failure in lung disease, and develops etiology-based preventive and regenerative therapies.

Research at the ILH focuses on the parenchymal/vascular lung compartment with a strong translational mission. This includes the topics of Resilience, Remodeling, Repair and Regeneration.

In the ILH, special emphasis is given to the training, support and career development of junior scientists in lung biology and pulmonary medicine.
