Super fun co-chairing the AstraZeneca EC global respiratory leadership forum alongside the #ERSCongress2024 in Vienna. Thank you everyone for making this a great success!

We’ve had a delightful evening meeting our travel award winners and researchers at our Asthma + Lung UK reception. Together we’ll help to reduce respiratory morbidity and mortality by 20%. #ERSCongress

Enjoying #ERS2024 and presenting heterogeneous patterns in FOT during bronchial challenge tests. A lot great discussions and feedback!

Asthma diagnosis: a comparison of established diagnostic guidelines Current guidelines for the diagnosis of asthma in adults provide either excellent specificity but low sensitivity (GINA and NICE) or only reasonable sensitivity and specificity (ERS) thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

The Blue Journal thanks Waqar Ahmed, PhD, for his contribution to the November 1 issue Fulfilling the Promise of Breathomics Stephen Fowler atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

The most urgent bottleneck issues hindering the translation of breathomics research to clinical care are highlighted in our recently published article atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…; we outlined the critical aspects of study design for any future pivotal research.

So thrilled and honored to be recognised as one of the AJRCCM emerging investigators along side my colleagues Dr Waqar Ahmed and Shahd Abuhelal! So grateful to our wonderful supervisors and mentors. Stephen Fowler @SalmanRespdoc 😊 atsjournals.org/ajrccm/emergin…

Treating asthma with inhaled corticosteroids at 4pm is more effective than twice daily or in the morning. See our new publication in Thorax 🫁🕓 and the brilliant Ran Wang thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

It’s all about timing! Taking inhaled steroids (..not the blue inhaler as shown in the picture!) in the mid afternoon may be the best way to suppress nocturnal peak in airway inflammation and airflow obstruction in asthma. bbc.com/news/articles/… Durrington Lab

📰 Afternoon could be the best time to use an asthma inhaler, a new study supported by Manchester BRC and Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre has shown. Researchers found taking the ‘brown’ inhaler between 3pm and 4pm could lead to better clinical outcomes 👇 manchesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/news-and-event… Durrington Lab
