The University of Wisconsin Asthma, Allergy and Pulmonary Research Center is a nationally known research facility that has been studying asthma for over 35 years.
Asthma is a disease that affects your airways. Asthma causes the inside walls of your airways to become swollen and very sensitive. When the airways are irritated, they narrow and less air gets to your lung tissue.
UW Asthma, Allergy and Pulmonary Research conducts studies in both children and adults that may help make medication available that could improve lives. Some special areas of interest for our research studies are:
• Origin of asthma in children and adults
• How colds affect asthma
• Uncontrolled or severe asthma
• Exercise induced asthma
• The role of genetics in asthma
• Allergies
• Asthma related sleep problems and disorders
• Treatment of asthma in children
Our research efforts, along with the thousands of people who have been in our studies, have helped to develop new asthma medications that may include those you currently use.
• Bring awareness to the public/online community about our clinical research
• Provide information about current studies
• Educate and offer asthma and allergy information
