Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research
Description
The Centre was launched in May 2014. It is a ‘virtual’ Centre, in that there is no physical building – it is a collaboration between the leading asthma researchers from 13 universities across the UK, led by the University of Edinburgh and Queen Mary University of London, working with Asthma UK, people affected by asthma, NHS partners and other organisations.
Our focus is on improving the lives of people with asthma in the short-to-medium term, rather than on laboratory research.
Public involvement in research
We are currently trying to develop a hundred-strong Patient and Public Involvement Advisory Group for the Centre. We are trying to build a network of people across the UK with personal experience of asthma, as a patient, parent and/or family member of someone with asthma.
