Research

Asthma UK funds research into all aspects of asthma,
from scientific studies into the biology of our lungs
through to the creation of new treatments and investigating its causes.

 

We fund the work of two Asthma UK Professors, three fellows and around 40-50 separate research projects led
by scientists across the UK.
