For researchers

Asthma UK is a major funder of asthma research in the UK. To date, the charity has spent over £50 million on basic and clinical research to understand more about asthma, its causes and treatments.

 

Our research programme currently includes around 40 projects, three fellows and five studentships. We also provide core support for the internationally-renowned MRC-Asthma UK Centre in Allergic Mechanisms of Asthma.
